EN26TFM004 Eldorado FSR Construction - Arrow

This contract is with BC Timber Sales in the Kootenay Business area and the project consists of 5.3km of new road construction and the installation of an imbedded 1800mm culvert.  The road construction involves all phases of road construction including timber cut and removal, end haul, drill and blast rock, and surfacing.  There is significant drill and blast rock on this job. It is strongly recommended that prospective bidders carefully review insurance requirements as set out in Schedule B.

Timing and Scheduling Considerations
Due to Migratory Bird constraints the Right of Way Falling MUST be completed OUTSIDE of the May 15 to July 20 restriction period OR a walk through will need to be completed to determine if there are nesting migratory birds.  If a nest is found, Right of Way Falling will cease and construction on this section cannot proceed.

An inactive bear den has been identified outside the proposed block and road right of way east of hub 303.  The den will be assessed prior to right of way harvest.  If it is found to be active, right of way falling and road construction cannot be completed until it is vacated.  The denning period is estimated to be November 1 – March 31.
