Tender Details

Request for proposal: hartland landfill bird abatement program
instructions to proponents

invitation

the capital regional district ("crd") invites detailed proposals from inter

ested parties (the "proponents") in strict accordance with these proposal d

ocuments (crd, rfp no. 17-1912). The proposals will be evaluated for the s

election of a contractor (or contractors) with the intent to enter into a c

ontract (the "contract") to provide the services described in appendix "a".

Overview (the "services")

the hartland landfill attracts large numbers of nuisance birds, mostly seag

ulls, crows and ravens due to the presence of food waste being disposed. T

he number of birds is seasonal, fluctuating depending on the availability o

f 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 b

irds or from droppings, damage to equipment and on-site facilities. Effici

ent 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 bird

s and to reduce the numbers of birds on the landfill property and surroundi

ng area, bird control needs to be integrated into the landfill operation an

d must also include a variety of deterrents.

The scope of services required includes the provision of suitable bird(s) o

f prey to harass and deter seagulls, crows and other birds from using the s

ite as a food source and place to congregate. The use of a variety of deter

rents to prevent the birds from becoming accustomed to any one method of ha

rassment is expected.

A contract will not necessarily result from this request for proposal ("rfp

").

Closing time and date for submission of proposals

the crd will accept three (3) copies of each proposal, in accordance with t

he instructions contained herein, at the followin
