The circuit specified below, shall be cleared or trimmed at a distance of ten feet (10’) from the nearest outside conductor. This constitutes a trim scenario being defined as ‘Trim’ which is paid under the Lump Sum (LS) line item on the itemized bid proposal. It doesn’t matter the number of power lines or what type. On the CHP system, our system voltage is 7200/12,470V. Any tree under twelve inches in diameter will be considered incidental to the work and will not be paid under any other item. These trees are considered part of the ‘trim’. Any other tree greater than twelve inches in diameter will be paid under the following tier: Trim – Paid by (hourly) – Circuit Trimming of: Trees and Brush are defined as woody stem plant species that are to be trimmed less than eight inches (8”) diameter at breast height (DBH). Diameter at breast height (DBH) is defined as 4.5 feet or higher above ground level. Tree Removal (8”- 12”) – Paid by Each (Ea) – Trees that are 8” – 12” diameter at breast height (DBH). Diameter at breast height (DBH) is defined as 4.5 feet above ground level. Tree Removal (12”- 16”) – Paid by Each (Ea) – Trees that are 12” – 16” diameter at breast height (DBH). Diameter at breast height (DBH) is defined as 4.5 feet above ground level. Tree Removal (16”- 20”) – Paid by Each (Ea) – Trees that are 16” – 20” diameter at breast height (DBH). Diameter at breast height (DBH) is defined as 4.5 feet above ground level. Tree Removal (20”- 24”) – Paid by Each (Ea) – Trees that are 20” – 24” diameter at breast height (DBH). Diameter at breast height (DBH) is defined as 4.5 feet above ground level. Tree Removal (24” or greater) – Paid by Each (Ea) – Trees that are 24” or greater diameter at breast height (DBH). Diameter at breast height (DBH) is defined as 4.5 feet above ground level.
