Tender Details
As part of the implementation of a proactive approach to deal with Land Management issues for its vacant land portfolio, RMS is seeking to engage suitably qualified contractors to deliver inspections, develop programs and undertake ongoing weeds management across the NSW, using suitable methods pending the environmental constraints and restrictions for each of the properties.
RMS vacant land portfolio represents 3200 properties.
RMS is seeking the services of suitably qualified and specialised contractors to deliver:
- field inspections in order to identify weeds especially priority weeds under Biosecurity Act 2017;
- expert report and mapping of areas being infested by the above, and proposal of program for ongoing treatment in order to achieve management and/or eradication. Reports should also indicate if there is any threat to EEC (endangered ecological communities);
- physical works to manage and/or eradicate the identified weeds on RMS properties, using suitable methods pending the environmental constraints and restrictions for each of the properties identified as infested.
Used techniques will include:
- Spraying;
- Cut and paint/swab;
- Stem scrapping;
- Hand removal;
- Mulching;
- Usage of grazing animals;
- Any other appropriate technique proposed by the contractors.
The open tender will be for a 2+1+1+1 year contract for weeds management on the RMS vacant land portfolio.
NSW State has been divided in 16 sub-regions.
Proponents can submit their offers on one or several sub-regions.
Although some sub-regions present a large number of properties, RMS is estimating the intervention rate to be on 5 to 10% of the total number of sites.
RMS will engage through a “work as ordered” contract and proponents are expected to demonstrate how they will manage to deliver 100% control and/or eradication of weeds species when identified on RMS land, using sustainable, appropriate and responsible treatment methods.
