Scope of Services The work necessary for the completion of this contract consists of the following: The primary objective of the hazardous fuel thinning and reduction project is the transformation of a non-compliant hazard reduction zone into a compliant hazard reduction zone. This involves a comprehensive approach, including the thinning of existing native vegetation as outlined in Newport Beach Fire Guidelines and Standards G.01 - Hazard Reduction Zones. The Guidelines also mandate the removal of non-native and invasive vegetation, along with shrubs and trees. To further align with safety standards, the Project encompasses the thinning, limbing, and canopy reduction of trees, ensuring adherence to tree canopy spacing requirements specified in Guideline G.01. Additionally, the removal of dead and dying vegetation, shrubs, and trees is imperative to enhance overall safety and compliance with established guidelines.
Thinning and reduction of vegetation in the 14.69-acre treatment area will follow the fuel reduction plan and schedule (completed in Phase 1 above). The contractors’ activities will undergo meticulous oversight from the Irvine Ranch Conservancy (IRC) and the CEQA consultant/environmental advisor. This will contribute to the comprehensive oversight process, ensuring that the work aligns with environmental laws, regulations, and guidelines. The City’s Deputy Fire Marshal will be present on-site to monitor and confirm the work being performed.
The proposed work for tree thinning, canopy spacing, and removal of trees that are invasive or pose an immediate wildfire risk to the homes located at the top of slope shall be in compliance with Newport Beach Fire Guideline G.01.
The Newport Beach Fire Department is focused on the removal of specific trees that are 15 feet or greater, mature, and present an aerial and crowning fire risk due to the species and distances to other trees or structures in the identified treatment area. The species of trees that are being removed because they are invasive and undesirable are, Pine, Brazilian Pepper, Palm, Ficus, Carrotwood, Bougainvillea, and Acacia. The tree species being removed which are California Natives include Lemonade Berry, California Pepper, Myoporum, and Toyon. These species are only being removed to provide proper spacing between canopies and to increase the defensible space to the home or structure.
This process involves creating clear separation from homes, structures, and between the tree canopies on the slope.
It is the intent to keep trees that are healthy, spaced appropriately, and non-invasive.
Please see the special provisions document for the full scope of services.
