Urban Forestry Tree Inventory

The City of Austin’s Parks and Recreation Department is seeking proposals from qualified contractors to conduct an inventory of trees on developed parkland. The tree inventory will be used as a management tool by the Urban Forestry unit and will focus on the condition, species, location, and size of trees on City-owned parkland. The contractor will be responsible for collecting inventory data for all trees 4” DBH or larger in developed parkland and for trees in 20’ buffer zones. The contractor must have experience with municipal tree inventory projects and must employ ISA Certified Arborist(s) for quality control. • The contractor will attend regular meetings with project leads from APR Urban Forestry. • The contractor will inform APR Urban Forestry of imminent safety concerns as they are discovered during data collection. • The contractor will provide a list of at least 10 successfully completed municipal tree inventories. • The contractor must demonstrate a minimum of five years’ experience with all technologies proposed for use in data collection and data management.
