Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting market research to gauge vendor capability for comprehensive tree‑care services at the Tomah VA Medical Center forest. The work includes hazardous tree removal, routine trimming, planting of up to 65 trees, and the development of a five‑year forest‑management plan. All field work must be performed by ISA‑certified arborists under CTSP supervision and must comply with OSHA, ANSI Z133.1, and environmental protection regulations. Vendors submit a capability statement, SAM UEI, and point‑of‑contact details via email.
