Another thing to worry about for 2023 is fuel prices. I probably should have gone into more detail about fuels in my State Of The Industry post. This morning, the price of diesel jumped above $3/liter in New Brunswick. Typically, the price of diesel there is usually fairly comparable to BC, or just ...

Check back next Friday (Remembrance Day) for the next round of updates. I think there are at least five jobs opening on November 9th and 10th.

Edit: 8 jobs that I know of, opening between the 8th and 10th.

Here are the results for a contract for Planting in Burns Lake Contract: PL24TAS4101 Client: BCTS Burns Lake # of Trees: 1,954,780 Opened: November 3rd, 2022 Contractor Rating System: Yes Left on the Table: None This one is a crowded field for some very easy work on a fairly large job.

Here's another challenge that we have to deal with sometimes when viewing ... discovering problems on blocks that the foresters may not know about. Quite often, the foresters haven't been able to visit all the blocks themselves before posting a contract. So they're relying on info from other people ...

Here are the results for a contract for Planting in Clinton Contract: PL24CCF001 Client: Forsite # of Trees: 885,479 Opened: October 31st, 2022 Contractor Rating System: n/a Left on the Table: 5.8% For this contract, there's a bit of annoying access getting into Units 027 and 037, but probably no he...

Quite possible Mike. Especially when there's no guarantee of seeing the results if they don't submit a bid. I know that sometimes, certain contractors will even view an entire job and put together an accurate bid, but then put down silly unreasonable prices because they don't actually WANT the job, ...

Here are the results for another contract for Planting in 100 Mile House Contract: PL24FOR003 Client: Forsite # of Trees: 1,021,390 Opened: October 28th, 2022 Contractor Rating System: n/a Left on the Table: 1.0% This contract is very similar to the previous contract.

Apex jumped a spot ahead of Brinkman due to the Contractor R...

MOFL is pretty stingy with releasing results of their tenders. Everyone seems to be stingy with even releasing the actual bid tenders this year, let alone results. The number of known contracts which aren't online yet is alarming. I can think of six BCTS districts north of Merritt that likely or de...

I always cry a little inside when they don't mound the block ... but they DO mound the road leading to it.

Here's a polite reminder to any bidders who might feel lazy about going to see an outlier block, and decide instead to throw in a blind bid for the block. What happens if you think it's probably a nice "easy" block like the rest of the contract, but in the spring you discover that it looks...

Also, this slow loading of the message board is driving me absolutely crazy, trying to figure out the problem. We're still working on it ...

They get sent to me directly by various anonymous industry stakeholders. I should be able to get results for all eight of their contracts eventually. It's not as visible as the direct BCTS and MOF work, but it's still funded by the province.

Here are the results for a contract for Planting in Creston/Grand Forks Contract: PL24FOR001 Client: Forsite # of Trees: 644,830 Opened: October 21st, 2022 Contractor Rating System: N/A Left on the Table: 1.5% That's a narrow gap between #1 and #2.

Something is currently wrong with my server. Everything is loading slowly, and I can't upload documents properly. Perhaps it's a DDoS attack, but I don't see the traffic. I also need to get the phpBB forum software updated. I'm trying to figure out the problem, but I don't know if this will take hou...

Here are the results for a contract for Planting in Campbell River This coastal tender opened a couple months ago, and I believe the Fall portion of this contract is already complete.

Welcome to the Fall 2022 Viewing Season Public Bid Results forum. I just posted my somewhat annual blog post with reflections about the current State Of The Industry . From year to year, you can always find the most recent version of my SOTI at: www.replant.ca/stateoftheindustry And now, some result...

Re. the above question, there was a discussion elsewhere online suggesting that funding for First Nations participation was utilized. Anyway, 2022 planting is almost complete, and it's time to look ahead to 2023. I'm locking this particular topic, so the discussion can continue in the 2023 Public Bi...

On a positive note, a few things are cheaper now than they were then. For example, a flight from Halifax to PG was $600 in 1990. The cumulative CPI for that period is around 2.4x to 2.5x (this year's inflation isn't finalized yet). So by comparison, a flight from Halifax to PG today SHOULD be around...

Here's a video about planting ferts, from Darius at RTI: Good morning everyone, This has been on my to-do list for awhile now but finally getting it done after a number of requests. Here is the video that you have all been waiting for – one demonstrating the best placement of RTI’s teabag fertilizer...

Your last sentence is one to consider. We've seen many comments from Newforest about how it is impossible to convince Americans to plant trees, so imported foreign workers are used. Will Canada move in that direction? If that were to become the case, it might be a race between TFW's and drones that ...

At times I actually look forward to sitting on my front porch and watching the world burn.

I'm an eternal optimistic, but I think that 2022 will be an eye-opener for a lot of contractors, and the bidding in fall 2022 will take a necessarily large jump. It has to. Any contractors that try to engage in low-bid practices this coming fall are almost throwing away the future of their companies...

A fellow named Pearce Park, whom I haven't worked with before, reached out and asked me to post this here: My name is Pearce Park. I am a certified faller/DTA/OFA 3. I am seeking DTA/DTF/falling work for silviculture and reforestation projects. I am fully equipped and ready to be brought on as a sub...

I think the easiest thing is to just let it be. I think it makes sense to keep this phpbb forum alive, but mostly just to act as a historical repository. There are a number of new mods on the r/treeplanting page at Reddit who are doing a great job of turning that into a great alternative to facebook...

I just received this email, asking for their info to be shared. View the attached PDF for more info, as this does not relate to regular full-size 48' or 53' reefers. My name is Brett Stickles and my wife Danielle and I have started a new business in Vernon BC and we would like to introduce ourselves...

Minor update on the three contracts listed above, for which I didn't have any financial info a month ago: FLNRO Quesnel - PL23DQU001 - 2,508,725 trees, won by Rhino, but the forester hasn't posted the contract award yet. FLNRO Mackenzie - PL23DMK002 - 1,576,100 trees, won by Coast Range for $676,992...
