Custom Lumber Cutting Contract

 

This agreement, by and between Tom Baumberger, (Sawyer), and _____________________________ (Customer) at_____________________________________________________________________________________ as follows:

 

1.      Sawyer agrees to cut Customer’s logs at Customer’s site for $0.30 per BDFT of lumber cut. Charges are based on actual lumber cut rather than scaled volume. A BDFT of lumber is defined as 12” x 12” x 1”. Anything cut less than 1” thick will be counted as 1”. There is a $200.00 minimum charge. If there are many small, short or otherwise time consuming logs, Sawyer may (at sawyers discretion) charge $50.00 per hour for sawing instead of the BDFT charge.

 

2.      In addition to above, Customer shall pay Sawyer $1.00/mile ($25.00 minimum) for delivery and location set-up of sawmill. Also, if Sawyer is required to re-locate sawmill on site, there shall be an additional charge of $25.00 per move. In the event a saw blade is broken or damaged by foreign matter (nail, rock, metal, etc.) in Customer’s log, there is a charge of $25.00 per damaged blade.

 

3.      Customer agrees to provide manpower to assist in loading and unloading logs and lumber. All logs shall be stacked in location of mill so that there can be continuous loading of mill by rolling logs up to the mill without moving mill. Lumber shall be stacked at mill location to allow continuous cutting operation.

 

4.      Other charges: Cutting logs over 30” diameter so they will fit on saw- $50 / hr. Cleaning logs of frozen mud - $50 / hr. any work other than milling logs - $50 / hr. Quartersawing lumber is an additional $0.10 / BDFT

 

5.      Payment in full shall be made as follows:  Payment in full at end of job or each Friday, whichever comes first.

 

6.      It is understood by the Customer that log handling and cutting may be hazardous. Customer shall be responsible for conduct of helpers and observers and agrees to hold Sawyer and the sawmill manufacturer harmless for any injury or damage whatsoever to helpers or observers arising out of operation of the mill and the handling of logs and lumber. It shall be Customer’s duty and obligation to keep all children and observers out of the work area. Customer represents that he is the owner of the logs and/or has the authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of all interested parties.
