This is an Emergency FEMA Technical Assistance (TA) document related to the City of Pasadena's Planning & Community Development Department's procurement for on-call arboricultural and land surveying services. The services encompass tree evaluation reports conducted via on-site inspections to determine whether tree removal permits are warranted under the City of Pasadena's Tree Protection Ordinance (TPO), as well as review of Certificates of Compliance, related documents, and subdivision maps for compliance with the California Subdivision Map Act. The desired turnaround time for completion of all services is no more than 10 business days from request. The contract is structured as an on-call arrangement, allowing the City to engage qualified firms as needed for these specialized services without requiring separate competitive procurements for each individual task.

The funding for this procurement is provided through FEMA Technical Assistance, indicating federal emergency management support for the City's planning and development activities. The on-call contract structure allows for flexibility in resource allocation and enables the City to respond quickly to permit applications and subdivision compliance reviews while maintaining compliance with applicable California law and local ordinances. Qualified firms should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in both arboricultural assessment and land surveying disciplines, with the ability to meet the compressed 10-business-day service delivery timeline to support the City's planning processes.
