Overview

The Ministry requires the services of a harvesting contractor who can offer a predominantly mechanised service to harvest the Pukeora Forest tree crop. The harvesting contractor will be responsible for the harvesting of the forest and all other on site related services other than cartage.

The Ministry seeks responses from harvesting contractors which can clearly demonstrate that they possess the skills, capability, experience and capacity to successfully undertake the harvesting of the Pukeora Forest. 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 and 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.

This procurement relates to mechanised harvesting contractor services to harvest the Pukeora Forest tree crop owned by the Ministry. The harvesting is required as the trees are fully mature and exposed to the ongoing threat of wind and fire damage. Accordingly the trees pose a potential risk to adjoining properties together with the risk of erosion in crop value. 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. Harvesting production is estimated at 300-350 tonne per day.
