Local contractors recently had a chance to provide feedback to the Burns Lake Community Forest (BLCF) on its existing contract and bidding award policy. During the engagement session, held at the BLCF office, contractors were asked what type of contract opportunities they would like to see at Comfor, what length of contracts would be ideal, and if they considered the bidding process fair.
