Capital regional district
request for proposal
hartland landfill bird abatement program
rfp no. 19-1996
instructions to proponents
invitation
the capital regional district ("crd") invites detailed proposals from interested parties (the "proponents") in strict accordance with these proposal documents (crd, rfp no. 19-1996). The proposals will be evaluated for the selection of a contractor (or contractors) with the intent to enter into a contract (the "contract") to provide the services described in appendix "a".
overview (the "services")
the hartland landfill attracts large numbers of nuisance birds, mostly seagulls, crows and ravens due to the presence of food waste being disposed. The number of birds is seasonal, fluctuating depending on the availability of natural food sources elsewhere.
the birds create a number of problems, including health risks to crd staff, contractors, neighbours, and the public due to direct exposure to flying birds or from droppings, damage to equipment and on-site facilities. Efficient bird control also minimizes the spreading of litter on the landfill and adjacent properties.
the use of trained raptors (hawks and falcons) at the hartland landfill to discourage large numbers of nuisance birds has been used successfully since 2009. To achieve the goal of making the landfill less attractive for birds and to reduce the numbers of birds on the landfill property and surrounding area, bird control needs to be integrated into the landfill operation and must also include a variety of deterrents.
the scope of services required includes the provision of suitable bird(s) of prey to harass and deter seagulls, crows and other birds from using the site as a food source and place to congregate. The use of a variety of deterrents to prevent the birds from becoming accustomed to any one method of harassment is expected.
