The project demands specialized equipment and skilled labor capable of operating safely in steep, inaccessible areas, with a focus on minimizing ground disturbance and maintaining long-term forest health. Contractors are expected to demonstrate experience in sustainable forest management, slash handling, and hazard tree removal in sensitive ecosystems, ensuring all activities align with ecological and safety protocols established for the site.
