Description
The City of Wilmington seeks a single‑vendor on‑call contract to provide comprehensive arboricultural services—including tree removal, stump grinding, and pruning—for municipal property. The contractor must respond within 24 hours to emergency notifications and within 30 days for non‑emergency tasks, completing work within 60 days of start. Work includes utility protection, property protection, and compliance with ANSI A300, ANSI Z133, and ISA standards. The contract is a three‑year master agreement with an optional two‑year renewal, and pricing will be negotiated on a task‑order basis for each work request. Evaluation heavily favors qualifications (40 %) and equipment capability (20 %). Historically, the City spends over $100 K annually on similar services, though no minimum workload is guaranteed.
• Scope: Tree removal (incl. stump grinding), pruning, emergency response, utility and property protection.
• Contract Type: On‑call/master agreement with task‑order pricing; single‑award; 3‑year term with up‑to‑2‑year renewal option.
• Requirements: NC business license, ISA‑certified arborist, specified equipment, insurance, and compliance with federal statutes (FEMA, Davis‑Bacon, etc.).
