EOI Green Waste Timber Material Reuse

⁠⁠⁠Snowy Valleys Council calls for expressions of interest to process and re-use fire damaged timber material (including trunks, branches, and chip) stockpiled (or to be stockpiled) at Batlow, Tumbarumba, and Talbingo.
Quotes must allow for reuse of all processed material. Acceptable reuses currently include firewood and compost, but others will be considered. Landfill is not an acceptable reuse.

Firewood must be removed from site and dried and seasoned before sale. Assurances in the form of a statutory declaration confirming that all firewood is appropriately dried and seasoned prior to on selling. Firewood must not be sold/distributed within Snowy Valleys Council region.
Responses must include details on proposed methodology, and approach to confirming quantities/weight of material processed and re-used. A docket/receipt paper trail will be required.

Prices are to be provided in the nominated template below, & will be specific to each location (Batlow, Tumbarumba, and Talbingo) and material type (Hardwood >200mm diameter, Timber >200mm diameter, and Piled Chip).
Please respond by Wednesday 20 April 2022. Email: info@svc.nsw.gov.au
