Description

The timber supply modeling work will be used to estimate a sustainable rate of harvest given current constraints, and will be used to estimate the rationalized apportionment for each management unit. This work is important as policy and planning is leading to fluid changes in land-base management from new conservation initiatives.

The forest estate modelling work is required to develop long-term forest management plans as part of the Forest Landscape Planning work by BCTS and First Nations in whose traditional territories BCTS operates. The IRMP project is part of the broader reconciliation efforts currently underway.

The windthrow predictive modelling work is used to help practitioners utilizing the BCTS windthrow management handbook to estimate windthrow hazard based on a single source of best known information.

The contract will require a range of qualified professionals and technical staff. Analysis and modelling work activities will include but are not limited to, total resource plans, block planning, block/road layout, timber cruising, site plans, assessments (blocks, roads, bridges, terrain, windthrow, stream, wildlife, visuals, etc.) and timber sale package preparations.

Contract deliverables will be planned for completion throughout the fiscal year to meet BCTS’ analysis and modelling needs.
