Description

This project requires manual brushing of approximately 259.06 hectares, across 15 cutblocks, within the Boundary Field Team Timber Supply Area.

The Contractor will base their bids on an individual block basis, brush conditions within each block are variable across all units in this Contract. Therefore, viewing all blocks on the tendered contract prior to bidding is highly recommended.  If any additional brushing blocks are added to the program, after the contract is awarded, the price per hectare will be based on one of the Price Per Unit found in Clause 1.01 of Schedule B.

The successful contractor should anticipate all types of weather during the seasonal work window. It is expected that the contractor completes work within the guidelines of the work progress plan regardless of weather conditions while adhering to the Wildfire Act and Regulations. The contractor can expect steep uneven road surfaces; a 4X4 truck and UTV support is recommended and/or necessary to access the treatment units.

Item 16 - Day Rate activity has been added to the Schedule B, which may be used if additional work is found while treating current areas, which require immediate action as directed by the contract coordinator. Day rate is “as, when and if needed basis” estimated at 40 days, with a minimum production of 1 ha per day per person.

The term of the contract will be from date of execution to March 31, 2026.  Field work is required to be completed prior to October 31, 2025.

See the Schedule A and C for specific works required.
