BR25TFF004 - BR25TFF004 Boundary Manual Brushing

This project includes the manual brushing of approximately 284.1 hectares, across 10 cutblocks, within the Boundary Field Team Timber Supply Area.

The Contractor will base their bids on the Type of brushing that will be carried out (low, moderate, high). Any additional brushing blocks that are added to the program, after the contract is awarded, the price per hectare will be based on the Price Per Unit found in Clause 1.01 of Schedule B.

These hectares have been categorized into three price/difficulty categories: low (13.8 ha), moderate (177.0 ha) and high (93.3 ha). Categorizing took several factors into consideration such as: access, age of crop trees, dominant type of competing vegetation, height, and density of competing vegetation across the treatment area. Please note, brush conditions within each price/difficulty category are variable across all units in this Contract.

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 and a 4X4 truck is recommended and necessary to access the treatment units. 
Item 4 - Day Rate activity has been added to the Schedule B, which may be used if additional work is found while treating current areas, or by other silviculture contractors, which require immediate action as directed by the contract coordinator. Day rate is “as, when and if needed basis” estimated at 40 days.
