This is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the Town of Fairfield, Connecticut, specifically for the Department of Public Works (DPW) and Tree Warden, soliciting competitive bids for an annual tree purchase. The procurement, identified as Solicitation Number 2025-42, is open to all vendors and will run from January 15, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST through February 6, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST. A vendor Q&A period is established from January 15, 2025, at 5:15 PM EST to January 29, 2025, at 4:30 PM EST, during which potential suppliers can seek clarification about the bid requirements. The procurement seeks qualified suppliers to provide trees for the town, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination.

The bid documents do not specify exact tree quantities, line items, or a precise estimated total value. Payment terms are to be vendor-specified, and the primary contact for the solicitation is Pru O'Brien, who can be reached at pobrien@fairfieldct.org. The procurement appears to be a standard competitive bidding process without specific set-asides or vendor restrictions. Two documents are associated with this solicitation: the main ITB document and an Addendum 1, though the available materials do not provide detailed specifications about the trees to be purchased or any additional context about the town's specific tree procurement needs.
