Description
This solicitation establishes a three‑year on‑call master agreement for tree‑service work (removal, stump grinding, pruning, and emergency response) for the City of Wilmington, NC, with a possible two‑year renewal option. The contractor will be called on a task‑order basis, providing quotes for each order before work commences and invoicing upon satisfactory completion. Key requirements include NC business licensing, ISA‑certified arborist qualifications, specific equipment capabilities, and compliance with OSHA, ANSI A300, ANSI Z133, and FEMA regulations. The City expects roughly 25 tree removals annually, variable stump‑grinding, and undefined pruning work, with historical annual spending exceeding $100 K. Evaluation heavily weights qualifications, equipment, references, capacity, and M/WBE outreach.
