Hervey Section Goobang National Park - Fire Access Fire Trail Upgrade
Tender Overview
About this tender
The National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) West Branch seeks to engage a single suitably qualified contractor to deliver upgrade works of the strategic fire trails within Goobang National Park. Project goals The Bush Fire Management Committee has identified strategic and tactical fire trails within Goobang National Park under the Rural Fires Amendment (Fire Trails) Act 2016 that do not meet the measures and standards of the NSW fire management obligations. The Bush Fire Management Committee has decided that the renewal of these roads is the most appropriate action to bring the standard of the roads up to meet strategic fire trail requirements. Fire trails will ensure the protection of Goobang National Park from bushfires and ensure the safety of National Parks and Rural Fire Service personnel in emergencies. In order for the strategic fire trails to be accessed by the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS), upgrades are required to enable trucks to travel where needed. Works will include widening, and the removal of logs and overhanging vegetation where required, to ensure Category 1 fire trucks can safely traverse the trails. Turning bays are to be installed to ensure the trucks can turn around. Scope This project will include civil works to renew and upgrade four fire trails, covering approximately 20 km, and will utilise the existing fire trail footprint where possible. Works that involve disturbing new ground will be clearly identified in this document and on-site. These upgrades are necessary to support bushfire prevention, suppression and emergency response activities while maintaining the long-term environmental and operational values of the park.
