Specifications include, but are not limited to: Qualified vendors are invited to bid on the supply and delivery of firewood to various Vermont State Parks. Vermont State Parks sells camping firewood to park visitors. This program achieves several goals by providing a source of firewood that is reliable, affordable and will deter visitors from cutting park trees or transporting firewood that may carry undesirable or invasive species. Additionally, by providing a quality camping experience with a fire that burns in a manner that will allow those who choose to use as a heat source for cooking as well as a safe pleasant fire around which to gather. To meet this demand and provide high quality firewood to its customers, State Parks intends to contract with one or more vendors to provide firewood as defined for the 2023 operating season.

The general method of measurement shall be by electrical probe from a newly split sample, however, the State reserves the right to use any acceptable testing method.
