Chelan County Natural Resources Project: Chelan County Natural Resources Department seeks a qualified Contractor to implement the Upper Wenatchee Defensible Space Project, in Chelan County, WA. This contract provides for the implementation of defensible space work across up to 112 private parcels in the Upper Wenatchee Area. This project will: 1) implement vegetation removal with the 100 ft perimeter around homes to achieve defensible space in accordance with FEMA and NFPA recommendations; 2) assist homeowners in creating a five (5) foot wide perimeter of non-combustible defensible space in the "immediate zone" directly around their structures; and 3) aid in the coordination of ignition resistant retrofitting on up to five structures within the project area. Guidelines for improving defensible space within 100ft of structures include: vegetation reduction of material less than 12" dbh (cutting, limbing, raking, chipping) and combustible material removal. Each parcel will be evaluated in zones; 0-5'from the structure, 5-30'from the structure and 30-100' from the structure. All site work will fall under the most recent version of the FEMA guidance of Technical Fact Sheet No. DR-4634 - Defensible space. This project is funded by FEMA and WA-EMD via the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. All onsite work shall occur by May 31st, 2026 . The Contracting Agency in partnership with the Lake Wenatchee Fire and Rescue is working on a coordinated outreach effort to secure landowner participation in the program based on the overall master list, which the Contractor will provide support in as necessary. Once landowner participation is secured, the Contractor will develop individual Home Assessments, Defensible Space Plans and Quotations for work for each targeted parcel. The Contractor will be required to take and maintain photo documentation for each parcel, coordinate rebate packages and complete parcel level documentation for submittal to the Contracting Agency. The Contractor must have access to a licensed Home Assessment software which aligns with the most recent FEMA/ NFPA recommendations and the requirements of this project, which they have utilized on previous projects. There is a match requirement for this project which will be provided via landowner volunteer time and documented landowner expenses which comply with the approved scope of work. Additional information is included in Section 2 of this document.
