Boca Forest Health – Project Oversight: With our partner, the USFS – Tahoe National Forest (TNF) Truckee Ranger District, we are releasing an RFP to solicit bids for implementation of forest health and fuels thinning activities for the Boca Stewardship Agreement.
Truckee River Watershed Council (TRWC) is seeking a contractor to perform a variety of service work and timber removal items for the Boca Forest Health Project, including 1,547 acres of mastication, 3.51 miles of fireline construction, 4.03 miles of trail reconstruction, 10.5 miles of road maintenance, 9 miles of road reconstruction, and 1,334 acres of commercial thinning. Note that there is overlap for the acres designated for mastication and for commercial thinning.
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 Stewardship Agreement 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 approximately 1940 acres of USFS lands.
Proposals are due on May 12, 2026 by 5pm. Please see below for project details, bid sheet and associated appendices, including project location and vicinity.
