The City of Cockburn is seeking the services of a suitably qualified and experienced contractor(s) to undertake a range of revegetation related services within the natural areas to ensure our conservation areas are revegetated and maintained to the standards expected by the community, the City (The Principal) is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor(s) to undertake a range of revegetation related services within these natural areas.

The scope of works for Revegetation Services includes installation of native tube-stock, native tube-stock supply (Zone A and B only), direct seeding, weed control (chemical and manual), site preparation including scalping and tree guard maintenance.

The successful Contractor(s) shall be required to adhere to dieback procedures and is re-quired to provide all labour, plant and equipment, materials, chemicals, wetting agents etc. necessary to carry out all of the works.

This Contract does not include tube-stock watering, fence repairs (major) or tree pruning (major).

The Contractor shall ensure that vehicles and equipment are capable of accessing off road bushland and wetland areas to undertake the required works. Tracks within reserves are generally sealed (limestone or asphalt), and/or unsealed firebreaks (sand).

The works will be required on a monthly or seasonal basis for all services and categories unless otherwise indicated. It should be noted that there is an increased level of revegetation activity required during the late autumn/winter period (May-July) with the Principal in-stalling several thousand native tube-stock per annum as well as additional weed control.

Most works conducted will be on a scheduled basis however, some ad-hoc works may be required.

The Contract may be awarded to a sole or multiple Tenderer(s). However, each zone will have a single supplier. As revegetation works may be in response to external considerations the contract has been designed to be flexible and responsive. It is anticipated that annually new revegetation sites shall be added while the previous year’s sites will continue to be maintained.

For Zones A and B the Proposed Contract shall be in force for a period of three (3) years from the Contract Commencement Date, with Principal instigated options to extend the period for a subsequent one (1) year period and up to an additional twelve (12) months, thereafter, up to a maximum contract period of five (5) years.
