South Fork Skokomish Helicopter Transport and Placement of Habitat Logs, Phase VI Bid Packet
MASON CONSERVATION DISTRICT (MCD) is requesting bids from qualified parties to transport by helicopter, 102 habitat logs with rootwads in the Upper South Fork Skokomish River on United States Forest Service (USFS) land in Mason County, Washington. These rootwad logs are all approximately 40-feet long, have a diameter (DBH) from 22-inch to 27-inch, and each weigh around 5,000 pounds. These logs will be transported from an established staging area and placed
(layout and approximate location per the Engineer’s Plans, see Bid Document Appendix F for .kmz file showing these locations) within the bed and banks of the Upper South Fork Skokomish River to form 17 “Helicopter Wood Clusters” (Cluster). Each Cluster consists of 6 logs with rootwads. The furthest upstream cluster is approximately 0.25 air miles from the staging area whereas the further downstream cluster is located approximately 0.60 miles from the staging area.
A helicopter service landing site has been identified by the USFS on Forest Service Road 2354(See Bid Document Appendices C and D for .kmz files that locate the Staging Area and Proposed Helicopter Landing and Fueling Areas respectively). This site was previously used on Phase V as a helicopter service landing and was identified as the “best fit” given its proximity (6.5 air miles) to the project area and its characteristics. Prospective bidders will be responsible for managing dust at the service landing site if, in their judgment, it poses any risk to their equipment or personnel to safely conduct the Work on this project. Prospective bidders are required to provide any and all ground personnel necessary to securely rig logs for helicopter transport at the staging site and safely release rigging at the cluster
sites to construct clusters as designed. As necessary, MCD will provide an excavator, log loader or other required equipment with adequate capacity to move logs into position for rigging at the staging area. MCD and/or its authorized representative will provide on-the-ground support at the cluster sites to direct accurate placement and configuration of the clusters.
