2010 planting contracts in the 100 Mile House TSA:
1- 100MH2010-03: 292,934 seedlings, 236 ha.
2- 100MH2010-04: 263,587 seedlings, 212 ha.
One of the primary objectives of the FFT program is to involve First Nations in at least 25% of the annual delivery of projects. This RFP attempts to identify a qualified contractor(s) or First Nation(s) that will partner with BA Blackwell in helping to not only achieve this annual target, but to build First Nations planting capacity for the future. The focus of these projects will be planting training. Proposals must demonstrate a commitment to help achieve these goals in a cost effective manner. Furthermore, these planting projects will impact sites within the traditional territories of local First Nations communities, therefore proposals that demonstrate the involvement with those affected First Nations will achieve higher scores than those that do not.
