Solicitation TA0695 is a Timber Sale Licence issued by the BC Timber Sales Branch of the Province of British Columbia for crown timber harvesting in the Gerimi Creek area of Quesnel. The scope of work involves the harvest of an estimated 49,911 cubic metres of timber across blocks GER24_060 and GER24_059.

Operational requirements mandate that all harvesting be performed to standards acceptable to a Registered Professional Forester, with specific emphasis on minimizing site disturbance by operating ground-based equipment only on dry soils, frozen soils, or snowpacks exceeding 30cm. The licensee is responsible for constructing temporary in-block roads to minimal standards and rehabilitating them for reforestation. All harvested timber must be marked with the designated timber mark A06 95. Additionally, the licensee must be certified under the BC Forest Safety Council SAFE Company program and comply with the Workers Compensation Act.
