Description

Newquay Town Council is seeking bids for weed clearance services using appropriate weed-killing methods to the highways on a reactive basis. The purposes of which is to reduce the number of weeds on said highways. The use of Glyphosate (or any other herbicides) as a method of weed control will NOT be accepted. The contractor must be aware that there are highways within the contract where vehicles are parked and therefore, it is imperative the choice of weed control method should ensure it is safe to do so around vehicles.

Where areas cannot be accessed the contractor must contact Newquay Town Council immediately to report what areas were not covered and why. The proposed method to be used must be non-invasive and environmentally friendly.

The total length of roads within the parish is 71.04 km (note: including both sides of the road would total 142.08 km).
However, this contract will be undertaking weed control on a 'reactive' basis and the Town Council will not exceed more than 10% of the total length of highways within the Parish.

The Council will assess the hot spot areas within the parish on a monthly basis and review whether action will be taken based on: health & safety risk, impact on an asset of importance to the local community and/or tourism, the number of enquiries raised and budgetary limitations.
