Description
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources is seeking qualified firms to conduct a third‑party timber cruise of the Cornell Creek easement (82.5 acres) in Whatcom County. The contractor will inventory qualifying timber volume, follow DNR’s timber‑cruising handbook, submit a cruise plan for approval, perform field data collection using SuperACE software, and deliver detailed reports, maps, and electronic data files. The work must be completed on steep, foot‑only terrain and meet specific sampling‑error targets. The contract is capped at $60,000 and will run for roughly two months.
• Perform a full or approved sample timber cruise of the 82.5‑acre unit, measuring species, DBH, and grade.
• Submit a written cruise plan for DNR approval before field work and hold a pre‑work meeting.
• Deliver narrative, printed SuperACE reports, electronic backup files, cruise maps, and scanned field cards.
• Operate safely on rugged, inaccessible terrain and comply with DNR safety, insurance, and reporting requirements.
