Description
This solicitation establishes a three‑year on‑call master agreement for tree‑removal, stump‑grinding, and pruning services for the City of Wilmington, North Carolina, with a possible two‑year renewal option. The contract will be awarded to a single provider who will receive task‑orders on a per‑job basis, price each order, and invoice upon completion. Key elements include:
• Requirement to handle roughly 25 tree removals annually (plus variable stump grinding and undetermined pruning); emergency response within 24 hours and non‑emergency start within 30 days.
• Mandatory qualifications: NC business license, ISA‑certified arborist capability, specific equipment (chainsaws, stump grinders, aerial lifts, cranes), and compliance with OSHA, ANSI A300, ANSI Z133, and FEMA regulations.
• Evaluation weighted heavily toward experience (40 %) and equipment (20 %), with additional points for references, capacity, and M/WBE outreach.
• No minimum work guarantee; historical spend exceeds $100 K per year, indicating a modest market size.
