Abstract
This report is designed as a tool to develop
strategies to increase the local economic benefit
from forest and watershed restoration activities in

to current federal contracting trends.
The report has four major parts. First, it analyzes
the distribution and types of service and construction
contracts awarded by the Siuslaw National
Forest and Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
Eugene District from 2001 to 2005, specifically
examining the distribution of service and construction
contracts to firms local. Second, it assess the
contracting activity of non-profit organizations that
undertake restoration activities. Third, the document
reports projections of upcoming restoration
work. Finally, it discusses local contracting capacity
to perform restoration work in the basin.
