This is an exhibit map document for the City of Palo Alto's Tree Pruning and Removal Services contract opportunity. The document presents a city area map divided into six designated zones (Areas 1 through 6) at a scale of 1 inch equals 600 feet, which serve to delineate the geographic service areas for contracted tree maintenance work throughout the municipality. The contract encompasses pruning, removal, stump grinding, and maintenance of trees, palms, and woody plants along street corridors and within parks, open spaces, and City facilities. The City of Palo Alto Department of Public Works Urban Forestry Section maintains approximately 38,000 publicly maintained trees and has contracted tree pruning and removal services since 2000 on a cyclical basis. The City targets a seven-year pruning cycle for optimal tree health and cost-effectiveness, with estimated work quantities in bid items reflecting a typical seven-year maintenance cycle; however, actual quantities may vary and can be adjusted to match available contract funding upon award determination.

The contract requires payment and performance bonds for the final contract amount. The map visualization provides contractors with a clear reference for understanding the geographic scope of the contract zones and service territories across the City of Palo Alto, enabling bidders to assess logistics, resource allocation, and project planning for their proposals.
