Description

Auto-translated from fi

Restoration and nature management excavator works, whole tree harvesting and local transport in nature reserves in sub-area 6 (Pohjois-Savo) The procurement includes restoration and nature management excavator works, mechanized clearing and whole tree harvesting as well as local transport in nature reserves. Primarily, the works are part of the Helmi habitat program. Excavator works may include the restoration of drained areas, where the water management of drained peatland areas is restored by blocking ditches and with dam structures, surface berms and other necessary measures. In addition, excavator works may include the creation of firebreaks and excavator works in traditional biotopes and heat-exposed environments. Mechanized clearing includes tree felling and cutting with an energy grapple. Whole tree harvesting includes, in addition to tree felling and cutting, piling and local transport. Most often, clearing and whole tree harvesting are carried out in drained peatland areas before ditch blocking, during which trees that would hinder ditch filling are cleared from the ditch lines. Depending on the work site, the cleared trees are either left in the terrain or transported away. Restoration excavator works and whole tree harvesting works may include, in addition to the aforementioned works, other excavator works, mechanized clearing, whole tree harvesting or local transport belonging to the scope of Metsähallitus Natural Heritage Services and related to nature conservation. A total of six (6) contractors will be selected through the tender competition. The selected contractors will be used during the contract period as described in Annex 6 (Framework Agreement Operating Model) and Annex 7 (Draft Agreement) of the request for tenders.
