Description
Description of Work - The Brush Creek Station IRSC shall be awarded under Stewardship Authority authorized by Section 604 (16 USC 6591c) of Public Law 108-148 as amended by Section 8205 of Public Law 113-79, the Agricultural Act of 2014. This law grants the U.S. Forest Service (Government) permanent authority to enter into stewardship contracts or agreements to achieve land management goals for the National Forests or public lands that meet local and rural community needs. The project aims to restore forest health, treat hazardous fuels along and adjacent to roads within the North Complex Fire of 2020 and reduce the future risk of high severity wildfire. The roadside fuels treatments are a vital step of the continued post-fire restoration activities to ensure safe access and working conditions and for a rebuild of the Brush Creek Fire Station. To accomplish these objectives, the contract includes the following requirements:

Fall all fire killed and weakened trees that are inside Unit 47.
Skid and/or yard contractor felled trees and previously downed trees in Unit 47 within 200 feet of all roads shown on CAM to approved locations to be decked and piled.
Pile hazardous fuels to be disposed of by Forest Service.
Fall and buck hazard trees in Unit 59.
Remove product per Timber Subject to Agreement if applicable.
Resulting Contract – Any resultant contract will be a commercial services contract with the option for timber removal.

Project Location- The project is in T 21N, R6E, Sections 5 and 7, Butte County, CA in the community of Brush Creek. The project area lies entirely on National Forest System lands within the administrative boundaries of the Feather River Ranger District, Plumas National Forest and is located 25 miles from Oroville, CA via Oro-Quincy Highway (Highway 162).

This project was previously pre-solicited and then solicited as a key requirement within Berry Brush Stewardsip IRSC (Fire Salvage) that was cancelled on 4/26/22. No organized site visit is planned. The deadline for completion of the contract is 7/29/22.
