Abstract:
The purpose of this report is to provide information
about various approaches that the Forest Service, BLM,
and their partners have used to create large restoration
programs using stewardship contracts and agreements.
These strategies have allowed for the treatment of large
landscapes over long time frames, and have supported
local contracting, forest products, and biomass utilization
capacity. This report describes and compares four
approaches to stewardship contracting: single, large-scale, long-term, indefinite delivery,
indefinite quantity contracts; multiple-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity
contracts; consistent programs of work using multiple contracts; long-term stewardship agreements with nonprofit
organizations.
