PACK CREEK ROAD DECOMMISSIONING

The Pack Creek Road Decommissioning project, solicitation number AG-02RC-S-12-0146, is a USDA Forest Service initiative managed by the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests in Idaho County, Idaho. This HUBZone set-aside contract involves the decommissioning of approximately 14 to 17 miles of road to reduce erosion and landslide risks. The scope of work includes roadway obliteration using Method I and Method II treatments, ranging from strong outslopes to complete recontouring, as well as the decompaction of roadways and landings. Environmental restoration is a primary focus, requiring the removal of fill material from draws, the restoration of stream channels to natural grades and dimensions, the construction of grade control structures, and the seeding of all disturbed areas. Additionally, native forbs and shrubs will be transplanted from adjacent areas to support ecological recovery. The project encompasses multiple specific road segments, including Road Nos. 5670-B, 5671-E, 75620, and 75622. Technical requirements are governed by a comprehensive specification pack and detailed drawings that outline contractor responsibilities, workmanship standards, and measurement and payment procedures. The solicitation was posted on March 21, 2013, with a response deadline of March 28, 2013. Performance of the work is centered in Orofino, Idaho, and requires the submission of technical proposals and a schedule of items for mobilization and obliteration activities.
