PARKWAY TREE TRIMMING SERVICES

This project will consist of furnishing all labor, supervision, materials, tools, equipment, incidentals, and expertise necessary for the pruning of parkway trees, as specified by the Department of Public Works. The City will provide a map of each specific subdivision to be pruned and a list of each tree, identified by species and diameter, to be trimmed within that subdivision. There will be approximately 10,000 trees to be trimmed each year. See the attached Parkway Tree Trimming Bid Worksheet for the specific subdivisions and the approximate quantities and diameters of each tree to be trimmed within them.The successful Contractor(s) will be paid for the work described herein on a per-tree basis according to the diameter classification of each tree pruned. The five diameter classifications are: 1”-6”, 7”-12”, 13”-24”, 25”-36”, and trees 37” or greater in diameter. Diameters of trees trimmed shall be measured with a standard diameter tape at four and one-half (4½) feet from the ground. In the case of multi-stemmed trees that fork less than (4½) feet from the ground, measurement will be taken one foot below the fork. Subdivision work shall be completed by October first of each contract year unless agreed upon by the City.
