Description

The North Carolina Forest Service is seeking a contractor to collect longleaf pine cones at two orchard sites in Bladen Lakes State Forest. The estimated quantities are 2,500 bushels from a 32-acre site with approximately 481 trees and 1,500 bushels from a 20-acre site with approximately 433 trees; the quantities are estimates and are not guaranteed. Collection must occur before the cones open, using hand collection or clippers, with cones sorted by family, bagged and measured, placed at the base of the appropriate trees, and kept free of debris and pine straw while minimizing tree and limb damage. The contractor must furnish and operate four four-wheel-drive lifts with working heights of at least 60 feet, procure and staff additional lifts if required, and provide an on-site foreman able to communicate in English and the language of the crew. The contractor is responsible for immobilized equipment and must comply with the specified driving-area and equipment-removal requirements. Bids will be evaluated primarily on the lowest responsive price, with pricing submitted per bushel for each site. The contract term runs from final execution through November 25, 2026.
