Toledo Urban Forestry Smart Tree Inventory

The City of Toledo is seeking a qualified firm to create a comprehensive “Smart Tree Inventory” of approximately 150,000 public‑right‑of‑way trees across 1,154 street miles and 300 acres of parkland. The contractor must use advanced LiDAR, high‑resolution imaging, and machine‑learning techniques to capture detailed tree attributes, produce 3‑D digital twins, and deliver a cloud‑based platform that integrates with the City’s existing asset‑management system. Certified arborists will validate outlier data and provide a prioritized maintenance plan. • Perform airborne LiDAR and high‑resolution photogrammetry to map every tree to ±1 ft accuracy. • Generate per‑tree data fields (species, DBH, height, crown width, health metrics, ecosystem services, 3‑D models, images, 360° street view). • Deliver a GIS‑compatible dataset, a web‑based user interface, a 15‑page summary report, and a rolling 2‑3 year cost‑phasing plan for ongoing inventory updates. • Conduct field verification for ~5 % of trees identified as outliers, providing removal/pruning recommendations and risk ratings.
