The Watershed Research and Training Center (WRTC) is soliciting Price Proposals and Technical Proposals for the completion of the “Pilot Stewardship SPA”.
The Roads and Plantations Pilot Project was developed jointly by the Trinity County Collaborative and the USFS. The project area encompasses approximately 4,000 acres of roadside treatment, plantation thinning, and treatment of buffer areas adjacent to plantations. Treatment of these features will provide for safer ingress and egress to the communities of Hyampom and Hayfork, create fire resilient, defensible features on the landscape, and provide economic opportunity to the local area. Under this contract the selected Contractor shall conduct mechanized, commercial and biomass thinning, and product removal on up to 1,000 acres of this project area. In addition, there is 0.09 miles of specified road reconstruction. We will conduct a field tour on Monday June 9th at 8:30 AM, starting from the Hayfork Ranger District Office, and ending around 1:00 PM.
WRTC will receive paper copies of the technical and price proposals in sealed envelopes; mailed to PO Box 356, Hayfork, CA 96041, or hand delivered (no public opening) at the WRTC Office, located at 98 Clinic Ave, Hayfork, CA, 96041. Technical and price proposals may also be received electronically if sent directly to contracts@thewatershedcenter.com. Bids must be received no later than Friday June 27th, 2025, by 5pm PST.
