STATEMENT OF WORK

Replacement Brush Chipper

1.0 BACKGROUND

1.1 The National Park Service, National Capital Region, National Mall and Memorial Park located in Washington DC requires a contract for the procurement of a new brush chipper for the in-house Arborist Team to replace the one stolen in September of 2023. This park has over 20,000 trees in the Washington DC area that surrounds our National Monuments and are found elsewhere throughout the Park including all of the Uptown Parks. This procurement is for a smaller chipper than our primary chipper, designed to operate in confined areas where the larger chipper will not perform. NAMA has always relied upon this style chipper. After suffering the loss of the chipper that was stolen, it is necessary that we replace it with a new chipper that meets the following specifications:

2.0 REQUIREMENTS

MORBARK 1415 Brush Chipper

Reason-

Our mission is to make our in-house tree care program and our arborist team premier by industry standards. Having recently acquired assets in the form of personnel, we now need state-of-the-art equipment to support their efforts. This replacement chipper allows our crews to access areas in our park otherwise inaccessible by our other equipment.
