Bundaberg Regional Council (Council) is seeking establish a new Register of Pre-Qualified Suppliers for Vegetation Management which is set to expire 31 May 2024.

The register is for Vegetation Management and includes but not limited to:

1. The delivery of roadside vegetation control works which consists of slashing and boom mowing or 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;

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

4. Spotter Catcher Services; and

5. Reporting (Pre-clearance / Post-clearance)

Hourly 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 scale 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 capacity 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.

Please be aware that, Inclusion on the Arrangement does not guarantee assignment of future works or any works.
