End of the World Long Term Stewardship

The U.S. Forest Service is seeking feedback from interested parties for the End of the World Long Term Stewardship project. The project aims to reduce the risks of insect and disease infestation, wildfires, and to restore and improve forest vegetation and water quality. The project involves approximately 17,000 gross acres of treatment across the End of the World planning area, with a contract term of up to 10 years. The project includes various types of service work such as road maintenance, timber removal, and biomass removal. The Forest Service is seeking input on the project's scope, structure, and feasibility. • The project is expected to include approximately 50+ MMBF of commercial timber over the contract life. • The contract may include both mandatory and optional service items, with payment terms based on the acre, ton, or linear foot for most treatments. • The project is subject to bonding at applicable regulatory thresholds, and Davis-Bacon wages and certified payrolls will be required for all Road Construction requirements. • The Forest Service is seeking feedback on the project's timeline, pricing structure, and contract terms.
