The objective is to solicit quotes to provide the City of Yakima with tree trimming/pruning and removal services as directed by City. Quoted prices shall include total costs including obtaining necessary licenses and permits (local and/or state), mobilization, labor, tools and equipment necessary to safely complete the job, hauling off of any waste and cleanup of the sites. The City has approximately 350 acres of parkland, not including rights-of-way, and is seeking a Contractor to remove or maintain trees as needed within a set timeframe. This contract is intended for both anticipated and unanticipated projects as the needs for services arise. The primary purpose of this contract is to set up as needed tree removal services, pruning, stump removal, debris cleanup, or consulting may be requested depending on the circumstances. This contract will be divided into two categories: non-emergency conditions and emergency conditions. The City will state if the request is emergency or non-emergency when contacting the Contractor. In non-emergency conditions, the Contractor will respond to a work request with a quote within seven days, with the work to be completed on a mutually agreed upon date and time. For emergency conditions, the City would prefer a 24-hour on-call/after-hours policy. During emergency conditions, the City would receive priority service from the Contractor. Parks or Streets division staff will contact the Contractor for requested tree services. The City may also use this contract for tree trimming and removal at city facilities, when outside the scope of landscape maintenance. This contract will not include power line clearance tree trimming.
