It is required that contractors submit their expected camp locations with bids, to facilitate filing of permit documents for the upcoming season.
•    Shipping costs for seedlings from nurseries will be reimbursed up to Prince George. See Schedule C for details.
•    A pre-determined set of rate increases will be applied to any Substantial Access Changes that occur after the tender closing date and before the planting start date.
