Request for Tender (RFT) Regeneration Mechanical Disturbance and Floating Services 2017 - 2018

⁠⁠⁠VicForests was established by the Victorian Government in August 2004 as an independent, commercial entity responsible for the sustainable harvest and sale of timber from state forests in eastern Victoria, which includes the regeneration of harvested coupes.

A competitive tender is generally considered to be the most appropriate, fair and transparent mechanism to establish ongoing commercial arrangements with external service providers.

This RFT relates to rough heaping Contracts for approximately 206ha within the North East and West Gippsland Regions.

In addition to the Lots being tendered, Tenderers may be offered (but are not guaranteed) additional work. Any such additional work will be paid at hourly rates agreed between the successful Tenderer and VicForests.

VicForests harvests and regenerates approximately 5,000 hectares of native hardwood forest in Victoria per annum. A range of forest types are harvested from High Elevation Alpine Ash and Mixed Species through to Foothill Mixed Species.

The Lots being offered in this RFT are to provide regeneration site preparation and float Services on harvested coupes.
