Bush Regeneration Services

The City of Ryde Council is seeking Tender submissions from suitably qualified contractors to provide professional and reliable Bush Regeneration Services including strategic weed control, natural area restoration and may incorporate revegetation in a variety of open spaces.

Council's intention is to establish a panel of prequalified contractors to deliver Bush Regeneration Services. Council reserves the right to engage single or multiple contractors to meet the needs of the Bush Regeneration Services tender.

There are 34 sites available currently requiring Bush Regeneration Services; each site is unique in terms of history, topography and land use, with varying degrees of weed infestation, therefore each site requires a specific individual or tailored approach. The primary scope of works will include (but is not limited to):

* Bush Regeneration
* Reducing weed infestation in nominated sites
* Reduce and control specified weed species
* Maintain previously worked sites
* Replant areas or species unable to regenerate
* Monitor and report on progress of works

Council expects the service provider to provide best practice, techniques and methodology during the term of the contract. The proposed arrangements will service the geographic local government area of the City of Ryde.

The term of the contract will be from July 2018 until June 2020. The contract will then have an extension of 1 year until June 2021, and an option to extend for a further 1 year until June 2022 subject to a satisfactory performance.
