Description
The St. Johns River Water Management District is seeking professional forestry contractors for timber marking services in preparation for thinning timber. The project consists of marking trees for harvest with a spot of paint to identify them for logging contractors to harvest during thinning operations. After each stand is marked, the contractor will perform a timber cruise to estimate timber volume. The timber is subsequently sold through the District's competitive bid process. The District is requesting a three-year contract with two annual renewals available upon mutual written agreement.
Key aspects of the job include:
* Marking trees for harvest with a spot of paint
* Performing a timber cruise to estimate timber volume
* Working with the District's Forester to select stands to mark based on understory density and accessibility
* Ensuring the target residual basal area is achieved
* Providing all necessary equipment and District-approved paint
* Submitting plot data and a stand-and-stock table upon completion of each site
