FH26SIR246 Aerial Overview Survey Pest Mapping for the Thompson Okanagan…

The British Columbia, Ministry of Forests conducts an annual Aerial Overview Survey (AOS) using fixed-wing aircraft over the entire forested landbase within each Region to map damaging forest health factors. This work is the foundation of the Forest Health Program. The AOS utilizes fixed-wing aircraft and specially trained observers to sketch-map visible disturbances over large areas quickly, and in a very cost-effective manner. The purpose of the survey is to provide a snapshot of forest conditions and the status of disturbance events. This contract is for two highly trained AOS mappers to conduct this work.

Option to RenewThe Contract contains an 'option to renew' clause whereby the Ministry reserves the right to but is under no obligation to renew the Contract for a further term of up to a further term of 12 months to a maximum of 2 years, subject to funding and satisfactory performance of the Contractor.  As renewal is not assured, Proponents are cautioned to prepare their price based on a single term contract only.  Should the option-to-renew be exercised, the bid rate or bid price is expected to remain unchanged in the subsequent term unless, in the ministry's sole opinion, a negotiated rate change is warranted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any renewal of the Contract shall be at the Province's sole discretion.
