The consultant(s) will design, develop, coordinate and implement one to three of the following private lands fuels reduction projects: 1) Greenhorn Subdivision, 2) Whitehawk Ranch and 3) on Grizzly Creek Road during 2005-2006. RPF should provide proposals on the projects described below.

• Whitehawk Hazardous Fuels Reduction - Design, develop and secure NEPA Decision and necessary CEQA permits (including THP if necessary), secure services of Licensed Timber Operators (LTOs) if required, oversee thinning and surface fuels work in order to reduce hazardous fuels on 121 acres of homeowner association owned common lands and private lands at Whitehawk Ranch. See attached map. The project is expected to internally generate revenues to the project from sale of materials. Maximum amount available to RPF: $ 15,000 ($12,750 base with $2,250 incentive for timely milestone completion). Total project cost estimate:$153,500.

• Greenhorn Fuels Reduction - Design, develop and secure NEPA Decision and necessary CEQA permits (including THP if necessary), secure services of Licensed Timber Operators (LTOs) if required, oversee thinning and surface fuels work in order to reduce hazardous fuels on 30 acres of commonly owned lands in the Greenhorn subdivision. See attached map. Maximum amount available to RPF: $ 10,000. ($8,500 base with $1,500 incentive for timely milestone completion) Total project cost estimate: $77,450.

• Grizzly Creek Fuels Reduction - Design, develop and secure NEPA Decision and necessary CEQA permits (including THP if necessary), secure services of Licensed Timber Operators (LTOs) if required, oversee thinning and surface fuels work in order to reduce hazardous fuels on 94 acres of private lands on Grizzly Creek Road, northeast of Portola.

The RPF(s) will be working closely with the Plumas County Fire Safe Council, private landowners, University of California Cooperative Extension and Plumas Corporation in the selection of specific acreages to be treated and the treatment regime. The basic prescription is “thin from below” with the objective to reduce the expected flame length on the treated acres to 2'-4'. There is an expectation that sawlogs and biomass will be produced by the project. All resultant revenues will be devoted to the project to partially or entirely cover fuels reduction contractor (LTO) costs.
