RSPB Lochwinnoch - ITQ Ash Dieback Mgmt

Description

We are seeking quotes for remedial works on trees suffering from ash dieback and other defects within fall distance of a railway line, road, path or habitation. The work may require railway line, road or path closures. Railway line closure and access would be arranged by RSPB, with road and path closure organised and managed by the contractor. The contractor carrying out the tree work must also ensure that all trees are surveyed by a suitably qualified and NatureScot licensed bat worker prior to works (please add details in point 3 below), with appropriate mitigation measures taken if required. Where possible, bat habitat features are to be created where standing deadwood remains through use of coronet cuts and creation of snags and other habitat features. Lot 1: You are invited to quote in competition with others to provide the services / goods specified below. Potential suppliers may quote for some or all of items 1-3 listed below.
