The South Island 2025 Spring Planting program for BC Timber Sales, Strait of Georgia Business Area consists of an estimated 140,000 seedlings to be planted in recently harvested cutblocks within the South Island Natural Resource District. The blocks are located in the Sproat, Cous, Arden and Rosander geographical areas. Many of the blocks listed in the attached Schedule B addendum are part of active TSLs. As such, continued deactivation and barricading of access could occur between the time of tender, and the actual start of spring planting. Bidders are encouraged to view blocks with this in mind and should structure bids such that all blocks with road access could potentially be limited to ATV or walking access only at the time of planting. Access maps are provided indicating the most likely points of potential deactivation, and the successful bidder will not be compensated for changes in access that limit access to ATVs or short 20 minute or less walks into planting units. All contract related questions must be submitted in writing ONLY to the following email address: Forests.StraitofGeorgiaTimberSalesOffice@gov.bc.ca. Deadline for receiving questions is 4:00 pm on January 10, 2025. If questions are received, a Question & Answer document will be posted to electronically by January 14, 2025. If your bid deposit is in the form of cash, money order, certified cheque or bank draft, you will not be able to e-bid. See allowable submission delivery method(s) above. Also see Conditions of Tender for acceptable bid securities. Estimated Contract Duration (3 months)
