The work consists of roller-drum chopping 191.7 acres (62.5 acres at TCCA, 89.2 acres at LGCA, and 40 acres at SRA). It also consists of spot raking and piling logging slash in the vicinity of ramps and areas with dense concentrations of logging debris. The root raking and spot piling will be done on an hourly basis, and the District’s Project Manager will identify the dense areas to rake. The raking shall be done with an articulating loader mounted with a heavy-duty stacking rake. The rake shall have a minimum of eight teeth spaced approximately 1 foot apart. Roller-drum chopping will be done on a per-acre basis. This project requires a drum chopper with a minimum drum diameter of 60 inches and width of 8 feet (frame 10 feet). It must be a single drum straight blade chopper. The dozer/tractor must be capable of pulling the chopper at an average speed of 3 miles per hour.
