It is common for the County to be tasked with removal of trees within the County that pose a danger to the public. The danger can be associated with a single tree, a cluster of trees, or with a series of trees along a segment of County properties or roadways. The County responds to the requests throughout the year as they are identified, or as they become known following storm activity. Immediate response is necessary to remove the tree(s) and to absolve the risk to the travelling public. The County is seeking qualified, expert tree services contractors who are skilled in removing trees safely within an active, and often confined, environment. Contractors will be required to remove existing trees within Kitsap County, as directed by the assigned County personnel. Trees may be in confined areas, adjacent to active County roadways, other roadway improvements, adjacent private property improvements, and overhead utility lines. The Contractor shall be familiar with and comply with the requirements of WAC 296-54-529.
