Pre-Qualified Supplier Panel for Vegetation Management

⁠⁠⁠Bundaberg Regional Council is seeking to establish a Register of Pre-Qualified Suppliers for Vegetation Management for a period of three (3) years. The register is for Wet Hire (hire with Fuel and operator) and includes but not limited to:

1. The delivery of roadside vegetation control works which consists of slashing and boom mowing of roadside verges adjacent to bitumen sealed roads;

2. The delivery of broad acreage mowing which consists of grass cutting of the Council’s parks, sports grounds and other open spaces; and

3. Tree management both within road corridors as well as parks and other open spaces.

Hourly, Daily and Weekly rates will be utilised by Council for ad-hoc works under $15,000 (ex GST). In addition to this, panel members will be given the opportunity to quote on larger works between $15,000 and $200,000 (ex GST).

Suppliers will receive quote requests such as these through the e-procurement platform and will be required to submit and return quotes through the platform.

Any works estimated to be above a $200,000 (ex GST) threshold may be treated as a separate contract and may be tendered independently to the panel.

The selection of a Supplier from the Register, for a particular job, will be at the discretion of Council officers, after consideration of the Suppliers listed details on capability or capacity and factors such as the nature of the work, the likely cost of responding at the required location and the Supplier’s assessed performance on previous works.
