South Highlands Fuels Reduction: Mastication & Lop/Scatter Private Lands adjacent to San Isabel National Forest, Colorado
In collaboration with the Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS), NFF is seeking a contractor to conduct service work, including forest thinning and mastication operations, across 126 acres of private land in Chaffee County, CO to reduce dense forest fuels that have accumulated due to a century of fire suppression and human development in fire-dependent ecosystems. This Request for Proposals (RFP) includes 126 acres of forest treatments in pinyon-juniper (PJ) stands. All work is to be completed with a large masticator with either vertical or horizontal mulching head, capable of operating on slopes >20%. Skid-steer mastication equipment is not sufficient for this project.
A mandatory pre-bid project tour will be held on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. To receive logistical details for the tour, interested parties must RSVP to [email protected] by Monday, October 26. Those who RSVP will receive a georeferenced project area map. Only contractors that meet the equipment requirement will be provided meetup details.
