A. The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, parts, and equipment necessary to provide brush clearing and tree trimming services within the designated project areas. The City reserves the right to contract for selected services relating to this proposal from any contractor, in part or in whole. The City may choose to select multiple contractors to provide all necessary services. B. Additional locations may be added in subsequent contract years on an as needed basis and the selected contractor will have an opportunity to furnish rates for new proposed areas at that time. C. The Scope of services may or may not include subcontractors services. In the event that subcontractors are desired to be utilized primary will need to identify the areas they will be working and get the written approval from the Municipal Landscape Services Manager or his designee prior to start of work. D. The exact scope of work and required completion date will vary slightly from site to site. Our general approach is starting with sites that have the highest potential for fire or highest hazard rating and working our way down to sites with lower ratings. Sites are listed in priority order in exhibit A. Each site varies in size and complexity and some sites that have access issues due to dense vegetation will be grazed before the contractor begins brush clearing work. This will help to lessen the fuel load and make the site more accessible. Sites will be grazed before Summer of 2025 to reduce fuel loads and increase accessibility. E. Locations of services to be performed is limited to the sites designated in the agreement. At the discretion of the Municipal Landscape Services Manager or his designee additional areas may be added to the service area at an additional cost to the City at the per acre cost provided in your response to this request.
