This is a Scope of Work and Specifications document for the San Mateo County Department of Parks' DIII Hazard Tree Mitigations project. The project involves the mitigation of thirty-one (31) hazard trees located in La Honda and Loma Mar within San Mateo County parks, specifically comprising nineteen (19) tree prunings and twelve (12) tree removals. The work is designed to enhance public safety by addressing hazard trees located near high-use areas and critical infrastructure while protecting surrounding valuable targets including visitors, vehicles, natural resources, and infrastructure. SMC Parks operates 24 separate parks encompassing over 16,000 acres and 190 miles of trails that serve approximately 3 million visitors annually, making hazard tree mitigation essential to safe park operations.

The scope document provides detailed specifications and requirements for executing the hazard tree mitigation work safely and effectively. Contractors must adhere to specified technical standards for both pruning and removal operations, implement appropriate safety measures, and coordinate mitigation activities to minimize disruption to park operations and environmental resources. The document establishes performance standards and procedural requirements to ensure that work is completed in compliance with San Mateo County Parks' safety protocols and environmental stewardship objectives.
