The bid sheet establishes a project total of $10,000.00, comprised of a $5,000.00 Meeting Allowance for community engagement items and a $5,000.00 Additional Services allowance. All pricing must be all-inclusive, with related expenses factored into unit prices. The bid sheet includes break-out line items for optional services such as additional on-site meetings, invasive species removal (half-day and full-day options), monitoring activities and data collection, prescribed fire treatments (specified by park acreage), and tree removal by diameter class ranging from 6 inches to 48 inches or above. The project is funded through a USDA Forest Service Inflation Reduction Act grant supporting Detroit's Resilient Tree Canopy Initiative, with a contract term of two years.
