Request For Proposals: Hand Falling/Climbing/Slash Treatment 2024
RELEASE DATE: February 13, 2024
CLOSING DATE: Proposals must be received by March 8, 2024, by 5:00 p.m (PDT).
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Hazard tree abatement on Plumas Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative (PSREC) overhead powerlines between Quincy and Hallelujah Junction including service territories within Plumas, Sierra, and Lassen counties, California. Operations upon the Plumas National Forest and Tahoe National Forest occur under Special Use Permit. PSREC forestry staff conducts annual hazard tree inventory within and adjacent to its overhead powerlines on both private and federal lands. Hazard trees are identified in Fulcrum software and made available via smart phone to hand fallers. This Request for Proposal (RFP) seeks hand falling and follow-up slash treatment including, but not limited to, lop and scatter, broadcast chipping, and hand piling of slash in accordance with the PSREC Special Use Permit. Tree trimming entailing climbing will also be required as part of hazard abatement. This RFP applies primarily to portions of the PSREC system that are otherwise inaccessible to full-service tree crews. However, interaction with the public should be anticipated. Use of Fulcrum software on a smart phone is required to document work completed. The amount and extent of hazard tree abatement is variable and unknown pending ongoing hazard tree inventory.
