7105-20 - Wildfire Partners Zone 3 Forestry Contractors List - Group 1

Boulder County is a seeking three or more forestry contractors with experience conducting complex hazardous fuels treatments, preferably on private land. This scope of work describes 11 separate Zone 3 projects. Contractors selected through this SOQ process will enter into a continuing services contract with Boulder County (example attached) and have an opportunity to bid on these Zone 3 projects.

Landowners for all of these 11 projects have completed their defensible space in zones 1 and 2 (100 feet around their homes)

Awarded contractors may decide which projects they would like to bid on—they may bid on all 11 projects or a subset of these projects. However, contractors who are willing to bid on more projects will receive additional points in the selection process for this SOQ (see attached table and evaluation criteria). Bids must be in writing and may include multiple options with different pricing depending on factors such as how the material will be processed (chipping on site versus hauling material off site).  Boulder County will identify appointment windows when awarded contractors can conduct site visits for each project to help prepare their specific bids. Boulder County will work with homeowners and awarded contractors to schedule these appointment windows so contractors can conduct multiple site visits during the same day and week. Each appointment window will be limited to one site visit by one contractor so the contractor can interact directly with the landowner.
