The Cape Hauy Track is one of Tasmania's 60 Great Short Walks, and one of the most popular day walks in the Tasman National. The Parks and Wildlife Service is planning to upgrade the entire 4.7km of track to the Class 3 standard for walking tracks (AS 2156.1 and 2156.2). To facilitate the upgrade helicopter services are required to fly materials, equipment and people to and from one of two depots within land adjacent to the Tasman National Park to sites along the track length.

The Tasmanian Government is committed to showing leadership on climate change by reducing its own greenhouse emissions. This includes trying to reduce emissions through the goods and services it procures. Therefore, the Tenderer will be required to work with the Department, track construction contractors and suppliers to plan and coordinate the work so it is achieved in the most efficient and effective means that minimises helicopter use. The Department may decide to engage more than one (1) tenderer to deliver helicopter services. The Department's decision to use a specific tenderer (or none) on any specific date will be at the Department's sole and absolute discretion. Potential Tenderers are strongly advised to read the Request for Tender documentation in full to ensure their Tender complies with the manditory requirements for participation. Potential Tenderers shall be deemed to be thouroughly conversant with the remoteness of the site and the environmental sensitivity of the area sorrounding the track. It is strongly recommended that all potential Tenderers visit the site prior to tendering to aquaint themselves with the site constraints. Prospective Tenerers are invited to attend a briefing from 9:30-11AM, Thursday 21 April 2011. RSVP to Ben Clark, by Wednesday 20 April 2011.
