AI Contract Overview

The Cooke City White Bark Pine Restoration project, solicitation number AG-0398-S-12-0003, was issued by the Department of Agriculture's Custer Gallatin National Forest for restoration activities within the Gardiner Ranger District. The project focuses on improving the health of whitebark pine across approximately 200 acres, specifically targeting 129 acres at Sheep Mountain and 71 acres at Henderson Mountain. The scope of work includes tree thinning, girdling of competing conifers such as subalpine fir, Engelmann spruce, and lodgepole pine, as well as piling and slashing. These activities are guided by a detailed silvicultural prescription designed to manage basal area percentages and monitor the subsequent effects on local wildlife. To ensure quality control, the contract utilizes a technical inspection system with specific evaluation codes and a weighted point formula to calculate thinning quality based on improper cuts, excess trees, and slashing. The project involves precise spatial execution, utilizing GPS UTM coordinates and designated treatment plots to differentiate between thinning areas and control zones. Additionally, contractors must adhere to forest occupancy and use orders regarding food storage and sanitation to minimize human-wildlife interactions. The procurement was conducted under NAICS code 115310 and required contractors to be registered in the Central Contractor Registration database.

Full Description

The Forest Service is in need of whitebark pine restoration activities to reduce the tree stocking levels of non-whitebark pine conifer species in mixed stands and, by the deliberate selection of whitebark pine as leave trees, improve the overall condition, health, and vigor of the stand based on the prescribed objectives set forth. The purpose is to reduce competition from other tree species and therefore promote whitebark pine, and to create conditions (openings) favorable for regeneration of whitebark pine and unfavorable to mountain pine beetle attacks (thinning to 80 square feet of basal area for example). This solicitation is for whitebark pine stand improvement and thinning activities on the Gardiner Ranger District of the Gallatin National Forest. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, supplies (except those designated as Government furnished), and incidentals to perform all work necessary on the areas specified. All aspects of the work program shall be performed in an organized, systematic manner to assure services will be performed over the entire project area. Work Item B.1.1 is located in the Fisher Creek Drainage about 3 miles north of Cooke City, MT. T9S, R 14E, Sections 11, 12, and 13. There are about 129 acres of thinning non-whitebark species on the north side of the drainage (hereafter referred to as Sheep Mountain units) in 3 separate units, and about 71 acres of clump thinning to create openings on the south side (hereafter referred to as Henderson Mountain units) of the drainage in 2 separate units. The Sheep Mountain units are comprised of a variety of tree species of various size classes. There is whitebark pine throughout, mixed with Engelmann spruce, lodgepole pine, and subalpine fir. Size classes include seedlings, saplings, poles, mature, and old growth in all species classes. The Henderson Mountain units have very few whitebark and consist mostly of subalpine fir, Englelmann spruce, and lodgepole pine. The treatment units are interspersed randomly with untreated "controls" (see diagram X). The project areas may be reached by Forest Service roads that are accessible by a standard two-wheel drive pickup truck equipped for mountain driving during the normal operating season, unless roads are wet, then use of a 4X4 vehicle will be required, except as noted below. The Government assumes no obligation to plow snow or do special maintenance to keep roads open. Price Range: $25,000-100,000. A complete solicitation package will be available on this site by May 4, 2012.
