Steck Park Pruning & Tree Removal

Background
The Steck Park Pruning & Tree Removal project is initiated by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to enhance public health and safety at the Steck Park Campground. The project aims to address hazardous tree conditions by removing and thinning trees, thereby ensuring a safer environment for visitors. The BLM's mission includes managing public lands for multiple uses while ensuring the protection of natural resources.

Work Details
The contractor will perform the following tasks:

1. Attend an on-site meeting with the BDO Contract Officer Representative (COR) after award but before work commencement.

2. Ensure all work complies with OSHA Regulations and ANSI Z133 Safety Standards for Arboriculture.

3. Communicate daily with the BDO COR when on-site and ready to commence work.

4. Ensure site security and safety, marking drop zones with cones or caution tape, and blocking public roadways and walkways as necessary.

5. Remove two standing mature/hazardous trees and limb eight trees, adhering to guidelines in the attached 'Steck Park Tree Work' report regarding tree sizes, locations, and disposal methods. Trees near campground facilities must be sectioned to prevent damage.
