Overview

The Ministry requires the services of a cartage contractor to transport approximately 22-23,000 tonnes of logs from the Pukeora Forest to Napier Port, Pan Pac Forests, Whirinaki and possibly other destinations depending on prices being offered by log buyers.

The Ministry seeks responses from cartage contractors which can clearly demonstrate that they possess the skills, capability, experience and capacity to successfully undertake the cartage of the logs from Pukeora to log buyer destinations . These organizations should have a track record of completing contracts of a similar size and complexity within time and cost budgets while demonstrating good environmental and Health & Safety practices. Only organizations with a comprehensive Health and Safety System, training and a proven Health and Safety record (as evidenced by the contractors incident register) will be considered for this contract.

The Pukeora forest consists of approximately 41.3 hectares of pinus radiata trees and approximately 1.1 hectares of eucalyptus and redwoods (approximately 22-23,000 tonnes in total) and is located approximately 5km Northwest of Waipukurau on the intersection of SH2 and Pukeora Scenic Road, Central Hawkes Bay.

A 2007 inventory assessment estimates an average piece size of 2.07 m³. Pukeora Forest is able to be harvested as a ground-based operation. Although no harvesting contractor has been selected as yet, daily harvesting production is estimated at 300-350 tonne per day.
