OTTAWA — The city is hoping to use thousands of tonnes of dead ash trees in the construction of its new light-rail stations, according to tender documents released Tuesday.
But most of all, it just wants somebody to take all that wood off its hands as foresters feverishly cut ash trees down to try to stay ahead of infestations of emerald ash borers, tiny insects expected to kill practically all the city’s ashes over the next decade. The city expects to cut down trees at an escalating pace over the next few years, with the amount of wood to be disposed of rising from 2,500 tonnes this year to 5,000 tonnes in 2015. The city government itself owns about 75,000 ash trees, the documents say, never mind the ones on private land.
“The suite of proposed solutions is not limited but the focus is on creating usable products from the ash wood,” the tender documents say. “The goal of this proposal process is to consider various forms of enhanced wood utilization as well as improving the diversion of materials from waste disposal sites.”
Particularly, the city hopes to stop depositing waste wood at the Trail Road landfill, as it currently does, with more than 1,000 tonnes of wood chips and logs lying around there. The city will cut the trees down and deliver them wherever the winning bidder wants, but it needs someone to “process” the wood to kill the bugs and figure out what to do with the logs — anything from chipping them to turning them into sculptures. It also hopes the winning bidder will be able to take cut ash trees from private landowners.
There are no points in the competition for promising to process the logs into boards for the rail stations (the biggest single category in the evaluation is the price of the bid, making up 30 per cent of the total) but the city’s especially interested in hearing from bidders who could turn the ash logs into up to 750,000 board-feet of lumber for the roofs of rail stations. The city is still working on designs for the stations but the concept city council has approved includes many platforms with soaring, curved roofs lined with wooden slats.
“In line with the City’s corporate sustainability goals, expanded infrastructure and new transit stations will require unique designs using local materials where feasible,” the tender documents say.
