Campdevànol calls for an auction of the fallen timber at the Baga de Grats

The City Council of Campdevànol has called for a public auction for the extraordinary forestry harvesting of wood felled by the gales of February and March 2026 in the public utility forest Forest Baga de Grats. The call is made by Mayoral Decree no. 2026DECR000439, dated September 17, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Girona no. 191, dated October 5, 2026, with the official reference CVE BOP-2026_0_191_8437. Interested companies have 10 business days to submit their offers.

The announcement is processed under file X2026000793 and responds to the need to comply with the Particular Administrative Clauses document that regulates the forestry harvesting auction, with the stated objective of ensuring the greatest possible competition in the process. The issuing body is the Campdevànol City Council, acting as the owner of the affected forest, and the document is signed by the mayor, Oriol Lázaro Llovera, on September 24, 2026.

Extraordinary harvesting due to winter gales

The harvesting is extraordinary in nature and derives directly from the damage caused by the gales of February and March 2026. The objective is the removal of fallen trees from forest roads, an action that pursues a double goal: to allow access to the mountains and to extract the fallen wood, as far as possible, in order to utilize it and avoid subsequent damage caused by forest pests.

The works are limited to the public utility forest Forest Baga de Grats, specifically stands 1b and 1d, in the area known as Font Querol – L’Empalme, and plot 17040A003001200000JF, all located within the municipality of Campdevànol.

Lots, offers, and award criteria

The auction will be carried out based on the best economic offer for each lot. The key aspects of the procedure are as follows:

• Object: extraordinary forestry harvesting of wood felled by gales.
• Location: public utility forest Forest Baga de Grats, stands 1b and 1d, Font Querol – L’Empalme area.
• Plot: 17040A003001200000JF, municipality of Campdevànol.
• Award criterion: best economic offer per lot.
• Deadline for submission of offers: 10 business days.
• Calling body: Campdevànol City Council, by Mayoral Decree no. 2026DECR000439.

Consultation of specifications and submission of offers

The particular administrative clauses and the technical conditions for the forestry harvesting can be consulted on the contractor profile of the Campdevànol City Council. Offers must be submitted within the period of 10 business days and in accordance with the conditions set out in the clauses document.

The call is specifically addressed to forestry companies and the wood sector, which must assess the available lots and the technical conditions for the removal of fallen trees before formalizing their economic proposal.

The auction opens a way to provide a commercial outlet for fallen wood and, at the same time, to restore the functionality of the forest roads of the Baga de Grats. For the region’s forestry sector, it represents an opportunity for wood supply with a short decision period of only 10 business days, and for the municipality, a measure to reduce the risk of pests and recover access to the mountains affected by the windstorms.
