C250406_HSEC_Safety_Spec_Review.pdf

This is an internal safety specifications review email from the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Contracts Administration and Materials Management department regarding Invitation for Bid (IFB) 250406 for Tree Maintenance and Pruning Services. The email, dated June 1, 2026, confirms that Level 2 Safety Specifications remain sufficient for the project scope of work. A notable change to the procurement is the addition of Orange County Streetcar locations to the service areas, which represents an expansion from the previous iteration of this contract. The contract is a prevailing wage agreement with a budgeted value of $200,000 for a two-year term.

The internal correspondence indicates that the scope of work documentation, along with a reference to the previous purchase order, was provided for safety specification review. The addition of Streetcar locations to the tree maintenance and pruning services scope suggests geographic expansion or new infrastructure integration into the existing maintenance program. No specific response deadlines, bid opening dates, or award dates are referenced in this review communication, which appears to be a preliminary approval step in the procurement process prior to formal bid solicitation.
