Preference will be given to a company that has specific experience in implementing wildfire mitigation prescriptions and has the necessary equipment to remove wildfire fuels while maintaining the surrounding forest environment.

The successful Proponent is expected to work in collaboration with a Registered Professional Forester contracted separately by City of Prince George who will oversee harvesting activities and ensure the treated areas meet the objectives laid out in the prescriptions.
Archaeological Assessments have been completed for the Broddy site but the assessments for Malaspina will be completed in Spring 2021. It should be noted that this may result in decreasing the overall prescription area or amending some of the harvesting methodologies in the select area for the Malaspina. Prescriptions will be updated as soon as feedback is received following the archaeological assessments and if significant alterations to the scope of work is required, the contract may need to be amended. Commencement of work is contingent on Permit approvals.
