Notice to Bidders
On December 17, 2009, the District Court for the District of Western Washington issued
an Order in the lawsuit over the 2007 Records of Decision (RODs) to remove the
Survey and Manage Mitigation Measure Standards and Guidelines within the Range of
the Northern Spotted Owl. In the Order the Court made its ruling related to National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) claims, finding multiple inadequacies in the 2007 Final
Supplement to the 2004 Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (2007
Final Supplement) on which the 2007 RODs are based.
The Court acknowledged that there remain substantive issues beyond the NEPA claims
before the court for which resolution is likely to affect the appropriate remedy. The
Court declined to address remedy at the time of issuing the Order and requested parties
confer about appropriate case management in light of the Order and submit briefing
schedules. There is still ongoing litigation related to the 2007 RODs and remedy is yet
to be determined.
The BLM will proceed to offer for bid Tract No. 10-16, Calahan Mudaxle Commercial
Thinning. Although it is not known at this time what the remedy associated with the
December 2009 Order will be, this notice is given to advise all bidders that significant
delays may occur before award of the sale or before any operations may be undertaken
on this tract, and it is possible the sale may never be awarded. Operations may also be
suspended after on-site activity has begun.
To ensure that this notice is understood, the high bidder for this tract will be required to
acknowledge receipt of a copy of this notice.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

December 2009 Order, any decision to award Tract No. 10-16, Calahan Mudaxle
Commercial Thinning, may be significantly delayed, or operations suspended, and
that the United States has authority under 43 CFR § 5442.3 to reject all bids if this is
found to be in the interest of the Government.
