Longleaf Flatwoods Reserve, Alachua County, River Styx Timber Salvage

The St. Johns River Water Management District is seeking sealed quotes for a per‑ton timber sale of approximately 36.1 acres of longleaf flatwoods in Alachua County, Florida. The timber salvage is required due to an Ips beetle infestation and includes primary and optional harvest zones. The District estimates the sale will contain about 860 tons of pulpwood, 126 tons of chip‑n‑saw, and 1,550 tons of saw‑timber, though volumes are not guaranteed. Contractors must commence operations within fourteen days of contract execution and must handle clear‑cut harvesting of dead, dying, and green pine in the primary area, with optional harvesting limited to dead pine only. The bid must be submitted by the specified deadline, and the award will be based on sealed quotes per ton.
