This is a Trimming Rule specification document for the Town of Palm Beach, Florida, outlining the standards and requirements for tree trimming and pruning services. The Town is soliciting competitive bids from licensed and qualified contractors to provide tree trimming and pruning services at various locations throughout Palm Beach, Florida. The work must comply with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI Z133-2017) and Palm Beach County Landscape Code 500-35, Number Four. The contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary materials, labor, management, supervision, equipment, trucks, fuel, and safety equipment to complete the work as specified. Quantities and site locations may vary year to year, with the included files representing current estimated quantities. The Town will invoice the awarded contractor based on actual quantities performed. Online bid submission is required through Euna Procurement (Bonfire), the Town's eProcurement platform. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams, with the date and time specified in the Events section and meeting instructions provided in the Files section. Attendance is strongly encouraged as the only opportunity to seek direct clarification from the Contract Coordinator and Town staff.

Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder whose bid meets all specified requirements and criteria. The Town reserves the right to award to the bidder who will best serve the Town's interests and to accept or reject any or all bids. No specific pricing terms, contract term duration, renewal options, or funding sources are detailed in this specification document.
