TCSI 10-Year IRSC

The U.S. Forest Service is issuing this formal Request for Information (RFI) in connection with the Tahoe-Central Sierra 10-Year Integrated Resource Stewardship Contract-Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IRSC/IDIQ) for projects on the Eldorado, Humboldt-Toiyabe, Lake Tahoe Basin, and Tahoe National Forests in California and Nevada. The objectives of this initiative are to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire by accelerating and expanding forest restoration treatments and to bolster the region’s wood utilization capacity.

Project Overview:

Scope: Approximately 25,000 acres will be treated over a 10?year period.

Forest Products Yield: A minimum of 50 million board feet is expected to be produced.

Service Components: In addition to timber production, the successful contractors may be responsible for service work including, but not limited to, road maintenance, incidental road reconstruction and fuels treatment services. This contract will not include project preparation. The estimated value of services is expected to exceed the material value of the timber, with potential inclusion of optional service items.

A meeting is scheduled for May 13, 2025, to provide additional background information and discuss the project in detail. Attendees can participate either in person or virtually—please refer to the attached RFI letter for all relevant details. Additionally, the RFI letter includes ten key questions; your responses to these will greatly assist the project management team in refining the project’s scope.
