Description

The Ministry of Forests seeks a contractor to plant trees across designated cut blocks and understory areas in the Osilinka planting area. The tender schedule estimates approximately 2.095 million seedlings across 19 planting units, with payment based on actual quantities planted at the submitted per-tree rates. The Province supplies the seedlings; the contractor is responsible for their handling, transport from the designated pickup location, planting, and related equipment and labour. The contractor must conduct wildlife danger tree assessments on each cut block and complete mitigation before planting, such as falling danger trees or marking no-work zones. The work also includes project planning and supervision, seedling tracking and planting records, safety compliance, and reporting. Planting is expected to be completed by July 31, 2027; the sample contract states a term of May 1 through December 31, 2027. A mandatory bidder information meeting is required, and the tender requires a $10,000 bid security. References and recognized forest-safety certification are eligibility requirements; references are provided upon request.
