Cloud Camp Ridge Fuels Mitigation Service

The government authority in Colorado Springs, Colorado, requires a vendor to provide Cloud Camp Ridge fuels mitigation services. The buyer seeks to reduce fuel loading and modify fuel structure by thinning live and dead standing vegetation, limbing, and chipping generated vegetation. Requested work includes reducing ladder fuels, increasing vegetation heterogeneity, removing non-viable dead and downed woody material, and creating a resilient landscape. The project entails building a roadside, ridge, or linear fuel break to assist in wildland suppression, protecting critical infrastructure, access roads, and utilities, preventing post-storm slope erosion, and reducing wildfire risk to natural, biological, cultural, and recreational resources. Eligible bidders must be USA-based onshore organizations, and the work will occur offsite. The buyer requires a proposal for the project budget. The buyer will hold a pre-bid conference on September 9, 2026. Bidders must submit all questions no later than September 16, 2026.
