PL25TGC001A - PL25TGC001A - Tree Planting Prince George Spring and Summer

The proposed contract requires the planting of an estimated 368,300 spring seedlings and 1,019,300 summer seedlings in Prince George. The blocks scheduled in spring are fill plants due to forest health issues and must be completed by June 21, 2024, and the summer plant must be completed by August 7, 2024.

Post-Harvest Assessments (PHA’s) are a source for guidance only – they are not to be considered guaranteed access directions to the site, or actual seedlings/species prescribed. Refer to the Schedule B1 for specific prescribed seedling information. Access comments on the Schedule B1 are also for guidance only. Please note that PHA’s have not been completed for all the blocks in this project.

In the fall of 2023, BCTS will be deactivating by pulling the bridge on the Colbourne North road immediately before A95516-1. Helicopter access is likely for all of the A95516 fill plant blocks. The successful bidder is responsible for all associated access costs, including use of a helicopter. See the Colbourne Bride Deactivations Details in the Appendices for more information.

Location for box disposal will be identified by Ministry Representative during prework. The landfill in Prince George is no longer accepting planting boxes. UNBC bioenergy facility is one potential site for drop-off but must be confirmed by the Ministry Representative. For heli-access blocks, empty boxes may be left in unburned slash piles if they are weighed down and will not cause litter.

If there are seedling allocation or area discrepancies between planting maps, PHAs, and the Schedule B1, then the Schedule B1 is the primary source of information for bidding. There have been a few changes to the contract documents for this season, please review Schedules before submitting a bid package.
