- Description
- B-GRID BOISE FOREST INVENTORY The Forest Service proposes to contract for technical forestry services to conduct the field phase of a stand exam project. The inventory exam will provide the Government with natural resource information for forested lands at an intensity required for forest inventory and Forest-wide land management decisions. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, transportation, supervision, supplies (except those designated as Government-furnished), incidentals, and perform all work necessary to conduct inventory examinations in compliance with terms, specifications, conditions, and provisions of this solicitation. Location and Description The project consists of 4-plot cluster settings at selected timberland locations on the Boise National Forest. Settings that will be sampled have been pre-selected by the Government. The Supervisor's Office is located in Boise Idaho. The project area is located on all ranger districts of the Forest. 1.Item Nos. 1 contain timberland sample plots at settings. This consists of measuring 4 plots per setting using inventory procedures. All plots are fixed radius plots with a 24 foot radius. Within each plot there is also a 1/300th acre microplot. Measurements will be taken and recorded electronically or recorded on paper forms and entered electronically, using the Forest Service data format and programs which will be provided. Item Nos. 1a are inaccessible settings because of permanent physical conditions. See C.2 Technical Specifications. The price for inaccessible settings will be a separate pay item. 2.For each setting, there are three 120 foot line transects to take data following Brown's planar intercept method for down, woody material. Only data for material ≥3.0 inches will be recorded. Each transect will be a straight line that starts at the outer edge of plot 1 and extends through the center of plot 2, plot 3 and plot 4 to the outer boundary of the respective plot. 3.The contract consists of locating, measuring and recording data for each sample plot beginning with plot number one at each setting. 4.At all setting centers, the latitude/longitude coordinates will be taken in a ddd°mm'ss.s format using a GPS unit. The coordinates will be recorded electronically on the plot form. 5.Digital photographs will be taken at each setting center in the 4 cardinal directions. The photograph will be taken as a level, straight forward shot using a 30-40 mm lens. The photographs will be submitted electronically with a minimum of 2.1 megapixels. Each photo file must be labeled with the district number, setting number and direction person was facing when taking the photograph. For example, district=4, setting=2039301, taken facing east would be "42039301E". See BGrid Field Guide Chapter 4, item D: Photographing the Setting Location. 6.A site list of settings to be surveyed is included in Exhibit 2, Summary Information Chart. 7.A vicinity map for the Forest is included in the attached exhibits. Maps of approximate setting locations will be provided at the pre-work conference. 8.Copies of the Boise National Forest BGRID Inventory Field Guide (referred to as the Field Guide in the remainder of this document) will be provided at the pre-work conference.
