About this file

This is an email chain and scope of work document related to the Anclote Road Stormwater and Roadway Improvements project (PID 003897A) involving Pinellas County Public Works, specifically the Capital Improvements Division and Urban Forestry and Landscape Services department. The correspondence documents revisions to the Tree Disposition Analysis task within the broader engineering services scope, with Carolyn Cheatham Rhodes, Urban Forester-Environmental Program Manager II, and Ann Venables, Senior Project Manager, negotiating the specific language and requirements for tree inventory and impact assessment work. The primary deliverable is a tree disposition analysis to be submitted in conjunction with the project's 60%, 90%, and 100% design submittals, requiring preparation of an Excel spreadsheet with tree inventory data including species identification, diameter at breast height (DBH), critical root zone (CRZ), tree rating category per Pinellas County Land Development Code Section 138-3654, and protected versus removed status. The consultant must employ an ISA Certified Arborist to supervise tree rating and conduct a tree impact analysis that includes canopy coverage impact estimates based on DBH measurements, tree mitigation strategies calculated per County code, and a recommended mitigation plan to restore loss of canopy, with trees identified for protection, removal, and construction alternatives using a buffer of three times the DBH plus the DBH itself.

The tree disposition analysis shall include plan sheet documentation of the tree table, summary of trees to be removed with associated canopy area reduction, and mitigation planting plan drawings estimated at three additional plan sheets based on County-provided specifications and layout guidance. The consultant assumes responsibility for providing the tree disposition table analysis first at the 60% submittal phase with revisions incorporated through final deliverables, with the County project manager providing guidance throughout the task. The scope revision reflects comments received during an internal project team review conducted in October 2025, with responses required for verification by October 15, 2025. No pricing information, contract term details, or funding sources are specified in this document, as it functions as an internal scope refinement communication rather than a standalone procurement notice.

Hey Ann, That should work, but this language (attached) may be a more concise task (would still need to call out pond siting too) and ensures we get a usable copy of the tree table information and provides consultant with a buffer diameter to inform their impact assessment.

Task #.# Tree Disposition Analysis

The CONSULTANT shall provide a tree disposition table in an EXCEL spreadsheet using the County-provided topographic survey. Data collected for tree inventory will include species identification, diameter at breast height (DBH), critical root zone (CRZ), tree rating category per Sec. 138-3654(1)(4), Pinellas County LDC., protected, and removed. Tree rating shall be conducted under the supervision of an ISA Certified Arborist.

The CONSULTANT shall perform a tree impact analysis (includes canopy coverage impact estimates based on DBH measurements from survey – i.e., 1” tree DBH = 1’ canopy radius, and tree mitigation strategies) associated with the proposed slope stabilization alternative. Tree mitigation will be calculated per Sec. 138-3654(a)(4). The tree impact analysis (includes canopy coverage reduction and tree mitigation) shall include a summary of trees to be removed, their associated canopy area reduction and a recommended mitigation plan to restore loss of canopy.

A CRZ buffer of 3 times the DBH plus ½ the DBH shall be used to identify impacts and identify trees for protection, removal, and areas for alternatives to construction. The CONSULTANT shall provide the tree disposition table on plan sheets. The COUNTY project manager will provide guidance on this task

CONSULTANT shall provide mitigation planting plan drawings based on specifications and layout provided by the COUNTY. It is assumed this would be 3 additional plan sheets. Tree disposition table, analysis, and any mitigation planting plan drawings will first be provided with the 60% submittal.

Deliverables: 60%, 90%, 100% and Final Tree Disposition Analysis
