Logging Poplar / Cottonwood Trees

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF VERNON INVITATION TO QUOTE
Q-OPS-08-31 - Logging Poplar / Cottonwood Trees
Quotes with the words “Logging Poplar / Cottonwood Trees – Q-OPS-08-31” marked on the sealed envelope will be received at the office of the Purchasing Agent, 1900 – 48 Ave, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Y7, up to and including closing time of 2:00 p.m., local time, Tuesday, March 4, 2008 for the following:
To provide labour, materials and equipment required to fell, bunch, skid, process,
deck and load-out approximately 2000 tonnes of Hybrid Poplar / Cottonwood Trees.
---------------------
The City of Vernon's tender off to sell this 2000 Tonnes of tress must have been sucessful as they are now looking for someone to harvest the tress and deliver to a buyer. The original tender "The City is interested in receiving purchase bid offers for the sale of approximately 2000 tonnes of Poplar Cottonwood Trees which will be logged and ready for transport mid April 2008. " closed Feb 25 and apparently was successful in getting a buyer.

Maybe the money from the sale of these trees will be available for the 2008 budget to offset the money we have budgeted for Pine Beetle tree removal. ? ($75,000)
