Boca Forest Health – Project Oversight: With our partner, the USFS – Tahoe National Forest (TNF) Truckee Ranger District, we are releasing an RFP for provision of services related to project oversight for the Boca Forest Health Project.
Truckee River Watershed Council (TRWC) is seeking a Registered Professional Forester (RPF) and other forestry consultant staff to conduct project oversight and other forestry consultant services over a three-year period. The project scope includes initial review of pertinent data, documents and project work tasks as well as performing all aspects of oversight and necessary inspections of the implementation contractor and associated work tasks.
The purpose of this project is to improve forest health and create ecosystem conditions more resilient to pests and pathogens, drought, changing climactic factors, and high severity wildfire within the Boca Reservoir watershed. The Boca Forest Health Project proposes vegetation management, forest stand and wildlife habitat improvement, timber removal, variable density thinning, removal of ladder and surface fuels, and stand density reductions on 1938 acres of USFS lands.
Proposals are due on April 24th by 5pm. Please see below for project details, bid sheet and associated appendices, including project location and vicinity.
