- Description
- The US Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Region intends to award a firm, fixed-price contract for wood core (ie: increment cores)collection services. The objective of this project is that the agencies (Bureau of Land Management & USDA Region 6 Forest Service) are trying to determine the presence of B. nobilissimus in randomly selected forested stands within the noble fir zone of the northwestern Oregon Cascades. The hypothesis is that B. nobilissimus is more prevalent across the forested landscape than known simply by the presence of its conks. The wood cores will be used under a separate contract to genetically test for the presence of the sensitive fungal species Bridgeiporus nobilissimus. This contract will require travel to randomly selected Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) plots to collect 4 wooden cores from each of 20 trees in each of 60 plots for a total of 1,200 trees (4,800 samples) according to a defined protocol that will be included in the solicitation once posted. The project is located in the noble fir zone of the northwestern Oregon Cascades on the Sweethome and Detroit Ranger Districts of the Willamette National Forest and the Cascades Resource Area of the Salem District BLM. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, equipment, transportation (except those designated as Government-furnished), and incidentals necessary to provide the tree boring /collection services in accordance with the specifications, terms and conditions which will be included in the solicitation.
