Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Contractor shall conduct prescribed burning, prescribed burning preparation, and as needed, mechanical treatments to Orange County Parks and Recreation parcels (Attachments A, B, and C). The Division’s primary goals are to increase biological diversity, enhance habitat for listed and threatened species, and fuel reduction, as many of the burn units contain heavy fuel loads. Firing types will depend upon multiple aspects to include burn objectives, frequency of previous burn cycles, vegetative structure, and fuel arrangement. Priority burn units have been identified at each parcel and while growing season burns are most desired, winter burns are acceptable given the conditions of specific units and the receipt of prior approval from the Division.
