Description
The City of Spokane is seeking qualified contractors to provide on‑call tree removal services throughout the city. The contract is a “pay‑as‑you‑go” arrangement where the city will issue individual work packages as the need arises; contractors submit bids for each package and are awarded the jobs based on the lowest total price. The work includes cutting down unwanted trees, grinding stumps, handling traffic‑control requirements, and complying with prevailing‑wage (Washington L&I) rules. Contractors must hold ISA‑certified arborist or certified tree‑worker credentials, secure all required city permits, and be capable of responding quickly to service calls.
• Scope: On‑call removal of unwanted trees (including stump grinding) on public right‑of‑way and private property within Spokane city limits.
• Requirements: ISA‑certified arborist or certified tree‑worker, Washington prevailing‑wage compliance, ability to obtain Street Tree and Street Obstruction permits, weekly certified‑payroll reporting to LNI.
• Contract Mechanics: Individual work packages issued after pre‑bid meeting; bids evaluated on total price; no fixed annual quantity, but typical package turnaround is ~30 days.
• Budget Insight: Historical bids range from $13,700 to $19,940 for a standard removal package, indicating a modest‑size contract.
• Key Dates: Pre‑bid meeting 26 June 2026 (optional); clarification deadline 29 June 2026; bid submission deadline 7 July 2026.
