The Chilcotin Military Training Area (CMTA), located north of the small community of Riske Creek and about 47 kilometres west of Williams Lake, consists of approximately 41,000 hectares of land owned by the Department of National Defence (DND) and is used as a military training area. The management of forest resources on this property is the responsibility of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Canada (DIAND) through an Order-in-Council P.C. O.I.C 1961-807.
Existing forest roads must be maintained through grading, minor forestry roads may be required and forest roads snow-plowed throughout the CMTA land base on an as needed basis.
DIAND is looking to contract until March 31, 2017 to carry out necessary road maintenance, potential road building and snow plowing and road deactivation to maintain access within the CMTA Lands base.
The objectives are to contract for development and maintenance services (including snow plowing) of the CMTA forest roads. This will include:
? Road grading – five (5) and eight (8) metre running surface
? Road Building – five (5) and eight (8) metre running surface
? Snow plowing – five (5) and eight (8) metre running surface
? Road deactivation - five (5) and eight (8) metre running surface
