Background: The mini excavator falls under the category of mini
shovels for use in confined areas that can operate on
6-foot-wide hiking trails. This mini excavator must have a
diesel engine with three or more cylinders that complies with
environmental emissions standards. This excavator must be
designed to operate off-road in wetlands and on difficult or
rough terrain. It will be used mainly for work on hiking trails.
The main work will involve levelling and reshaping trails,
excavating ditches along the sides of trails to ensure effective
drainage, removing debris such as stones and branches along the
sides of hiking trails, and excavations close to buildings. This
manoeuvrable, short-swing excavator will enable work on narrow
sites with a 360-degree rotation to easily avoid and circumvent
obstacles in forest areas. In addition, the excavator must have
rubber tracks to avoid damaging infrastructure such as the
bridges and walkways on the hiking trails in the Cap Tourmente
National Wildlife Area. This mini excavator can also be moved to
carry out landscaping in other national wildlife areas in
Quebec. It must have two buckets of different sizes with a
hydraulic clamp (thumb) to firmly grab and move various objects.
Lastly, the excavator must be equipped with a double-flight
auger for the installation of sonotubes for signage projects in
the network of protected areas.
