Purpose/Background
 
This RFP is to complete one Wildfire Partners hazardous fuels reduction project on private property. The project has been marked. A project map and prescription are included in Exhibit A. This project is a total of 26.97 acres. However, approximately 700 trees have been removed this year under a different contract so the project has changed significantly since 2019 and 2020. Interested contractors are strongly encouraged to attend one of two pre-proposal meetings so they can view the property and the individual tree marking in order to prepare an accurate bid.
