    Attachment 3 Incentives.pdf
    The document outlines an incentive program for contractors involved in tree tipping, specifically for Item 2: Directionally Pull Trees with Roots Attached with Cable Yarder (Tree Tipping). The program aims to reduce bole breakage when manipulating large wood by offering bonuses for trees or snags with at least 90% of their bole unbroken. Incentives are tiered based on the tree's diameter at breast height (DBH) and whether the root wad is greater or less than three feet in average diameter. For root wads three feet or greater, bonuses range from $50 to $300, while for root wads less than three feet, bonuses range from $25 to $150. Any discrepancies in unbroken piece counts between the government and contractor must be reconciled before invoicing, with government figures prevailing if no reconciliation occurs.
    Attachment 1 Statement of Work.pdf
    The Wind River Mining Reach Phase II Restoration project aims to improve salmon habitat for ESA-listed lower Columbia Steelhead in the Wind River Watershed. The project involves adding large woody debris to the river using large wood obtained from nearby harvest units. This will enhance pool quality and quantity, slow stream flow, increase streambank stability, and improve overall water quality. The instream restoration site is located approximately 45 miles northeast of Carson, Washington. The work includes mobilization, transporting and placing trees with root wads attached, constructing log jams according to engineered designs and on-site recommendations from the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), and rehabilitating disturbed areas. The COR will provide designs and oversight, while the contractor supplies equipment and operators on an hourly rental basis. All equipment must be cleaned to prevent the spread of invasive species before entering National Forest Lands. Project and log structure designs are provided as templates, with final construction adapted to site-specific conditions under the COR's guidance.
    Attachment 2 Schedule of Items.pdf
    This government file outlines a Schedule of Supplies/Services for a Stream Restoration & Log Haul project in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The project details various tasks including mobilization for heavy equipment, directional tree pulling with roots attached (tree tipping) for specific tree diameters, configuring in-stream wood structures, and redistributing stream bed materials using excavators and grapple skidders. It also includes provisions for incentives, portable restrooms, and log hauling services using log trucks. The document specifies estimated quantities for each item and requires heavy equipment to be furnished with an operator. Key sections are left blank for project-specific information such as start date, performance time, UEI, and email.
