San Poil Forest, 3 commercial thinning contracts

The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation are seeking contractors to perform pre‑commercial thinning (PCT) on three blocks of forest within the “30 Mile” area, totaling about 110 acres. The work involves cutting all trees ≤ 8 in. DBH, protecting designated “leave” trees, treating mistletoe‑infected trees, and managing slash according to specified heights and seasonal guidelines. Bidders must submit a sealed envelope with a detailed work plan, insurance documentation, Title 10 certification (or pay a 5 % Indian‑preference fee), and other required certifications. The contract is fixed‑price and will be awarded based on technical qualifications and a reasonable price, not automatically to the lowest bidder.
