Mesa Shade Tree Program

The City of Mesa is awarding a three‑year, fixed‑price contract to manage its Mesa Shade Tree Program, delivering shade‑tree procurement, distribution, workshops, and verification for two resident groups (electric‑service customers and non‑electric customers). The contractor will design outreach campaigns, operate bilingual registration systems, host two workshops per year per sub‑program, and conduct two distribution events annually, while ensuring trees are planted with proper clearance from overhead utilities. The award value is $72,153 per year, totaling roughly $216,459 over the base term, with an optional two‑year renewal. • Scope includes tree procurement (5‑gallon specimens), bilingual advertising, web‑based registration, workshop delivery, and post‑distribution verification (minimum 5 % verification). • Contractor must provide qualified horticulture staff, comply with safety clearances, and coordinate with City utility data to validate participant eligibility. • No budget figures were in the original RFP; the award notice supplies the annual price, and the contract is a firm‑fixed‑price, full‑open competition.
