Description
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking quotes for contractor services to conduct tree thinning and removal treatments on approximately 1,844 acres of Utah juniper and single-leaf pinyon pine. The project aims to reduce hazardous fuel loading, increase canopy fuel distance, and create a safer environment for fire personnel during an incident response. The contractor will be responsible for providing all labor, transportation, materials, and equipment necessary to perform the work. The project will be conducted in two units: the Henderson Creek Unit and the Twin Spring Hills Unit, both located in Eureka County, Nevada.
Key aspects of the project include:
• Tree thinning and removal treatments will be conducted manually, with the goal of completely removing all trees except for those with restrictions explained in the contract.
• The contractor will be responsible for identifying and avoiding any ground and aerial hazards.
• The project will require the use of specialized equipment, including chainsaws and fire suppression equipment.
• The contractor will be required to provide a safety plan and ensure compliance with all OSHA and State of Nevada regulations.
• The project will be conducted between September 15, 2026, and February 28, 2027, with a pre-work conference scheduled prior to the start of the project.
