Tender Details

Forests NSW seeks experienced Contractors to participate in a mechanical non-commercial thinning (NCT) program of cypress regeneration to compliment routine manual thinnings. The mechanical NCT operation is to utilise a chopper roller implement towed by a tractor (wheeled or tracked) to chopper roll approximately 30 - 50% of the nominated gross operational area. All of this work will be carried out by contractors, under Forests NSW supervision over the next three years.
Native Forests Operations Branch  Western Region of Forests NSW expects to treat approximately 4,000ha gross of white cypress pine/western hardwood forest land in Baradine, Dubbo, and Forbes Forestry Centres through mechanical NCT, for the period January 2008 to June 2008 (F2008). Forests NSW reserves the right to negotiate with successful tenderers for further work in the 2008/2009 (F2009), and 2009/2010 (F2010) financial years (approx 5,800ha gross for each of these years), subject to satisfactory performance.
The contract work required in F2008 will be offered on an amalgamated Western Region basis with an option to tender for nominated works north, and south of Dubbo respectively. It is expected that these works will be completed by no later than the 31st May 2008. Tenderers are expected to appraise themselves of the variation in proposed forest operational areas with view to selecting tractor size and type appropriate to the conditions. Tenders will also be evaluated and ranked in a single process, to allow cost-effective allocation of the available contract resources. .
