Description
The City of Spokane’s Urban Forestry division is seeking on‑call tree‑pruning services for municipal streets, parks, and school properties. Contractors will be called upon as needed to perform a variety of pruning tasks (crown raising, crown cleaning, structural pruning) on trees ranging from small (2‑12 in) to large (>25 in). Work will be performed under prevailing‑wage requirements, with weekly certified‑payroll reporting to the state labor and industries (LNI) site, and must comply with Spokane Arboricultural specifications (e.g., 8‑ft clearance in parks). The contract is funded by a $5 million USDA/USFS Tree Equity Spokane grant, runs through 2029, and will be awarded to 2‑3 qualified firms after a 6‑8 week review period.
• On‑call pruning across the city’s public right‑of‑way, parks, and schools.
• Required compliance with Washington prevailing‑wage rules and weekly certified‑payroll updates.
• Packages typically last about 90 days; contractors receive new packages after completing prior ones.
• No planting component; tree replacement is handled through the SpoCanopy program.
