Trees & Tree Planting Services / DPWP-ARPA

The City of Worcester is procuring trees and tree‑planting services for its Department of Public Works & Parks under an ARPA‑funded contract. The work includes supplying roughly 575 nursery‑grown trees per season, site preparation, planting, staking, mulching, fertilizing, and post‑planting maintenance, all overseen by a certified arborist. The contract period is one year (Jan 1 2025 – Dec 31 2025) with an optional renewal for a second year. The award went to JAM Corporation, the lowest net‑price bidder. The solicitation required extensive certifications (MWBE, CORI, gender‑identity, wage‑theft, ARPA compliance) and specified insurance, warranty, and performance standards.
