Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Springfield is seeking the services of a qualified Contractor to provide tree injections for the prevention of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). There are approximately 190 Ash Trees to be treated which represents the total approximate Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) of 3,000 inches. All injections must be completed between MARCH 1, 2019 AND APRIL 30, 2019, or as soon as conditions are appropriate, whichever occurs sooner. Along with tree injections, the City of Springfield has inspected and approved specific Ash trees (approximately 165) in non-forested parks, rights-of-way, and public property for removal and stump grinding due to the tree’s condition and/or location. Tree removal and stump grinding shall be completed not later than MARCH 22, 2019. The goal is to proactively protect Ash Trees growing in the right-of-way, parks, and public property in order to preserve the City’s tree canopy and the accompanying economic and environmental benefits.
