Lakewood Reforestation Site Preparation

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) is soliciting bids for mechanical planting furrow scarification and site-prep on sites locate within the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Lakewood-Laona Ranger District, through the Good Neighbor Authority (GNA) program. 194 acres located on 6 separate tracts will be treated via roller chopping or forestry mulching and 288 acres on 9 tracts will be treated for planting furrow scarification via disc trencher or bracke. Bids will be made in terms of cost per acre separately for roller chopping and furrow scarification. Bidders may bid on both roller chopping & furrow scarification or just one of these practices. However, if no bid is received for planting furrow scarification, then DNR has the right to not award any bids for roller chopping as both practices must get completed the same year. This Contract will run for an initial one year period. There are no renewal periods. The Contract shall be effective on the date it is executed by the Procuring Agency. If no formal Contract is executed, the effective date of the Contract is the date of the purchase order. Date Questions Due : March 29, 2023 at 4:30 PM All communication and/or questions on all matters regarding this Bid shall be made in writing and be directed to Konrad Plachetta.
