The City of Peterborough is inviting informal quotes for the annual sale of bulk wood from trees removed from municipal property by the city’s forestry staff.
This sale includes around 250 to 300 trees of various sizes, averaging 18 inches in diameter. The successful bidder will purchase all the wood for the year, and is required to take all the wood and not just selected parts. The bulk wood sale excludes the ash trees in accordance with the city’s Emerald Ash Borer program.
The award of the bulk wood sale will be based both upon the distance from the city’s Public Works Yard at 791 Webber Avenue to the bidder’s drop-off location (the drop site will be cleared of wood once a week) and ease of access to the bidder’s drop-off location (including summer and winter road conditions, with any laneways to be maintained by the successful bidder).
The city reserves the right to renew the contract for up to an additional two years.
For further details or to submit a quote, email Sean Adey, Manager of Parks, Forestry & Sanitation in the city’s Public Works Division, at sadey@peterborough.ca.
The submission deadline is 4 p.m. on Friday, July 7th.
