AB2025-41 COST PROPOSAL.xlsx

This is a cost proposal for the Mercer County Park Commission and City of Trenton, New Jersey, for the furnishing, delivery, and planting of native trees in Cadwalader Park. The project involves supplying and installing 19 different native tree species with 2"-3" caliper, including various oak, maple, hickory, and other local tree types. The work is part of a federally funded project through a USDA Forest Service Eastern Region State and Private Forestry Grant (Grant No. 22-DG-11094200-198), with the scope including tree planting, staking, mulching, and installation of tree watering bags and tree guards.

The cost proposal includes unit pricing for each tree species, with additional line items for hardwood stakes, tree watering bags, and tree guards. The project will be funded through a Federal Domestic Matching Grant, structured under an intergovernmental agreement through the Uniform Shared Services and Consolidation Act. The proposal allows for itemized pricing of materials and labor, with contractors expected to provide per-tree and per-hour rates for the comprehensive tree planting project. The collaborative nature of the project involves partnership between the Mercer County Park Commission and the City of Trenton, with federal grant support facilitating the native tree planting initiative in Cadwalader Park.
