The project involved two line items: mobilization and tree & vegetation clearing, both quoted as lump sum (LS) contracts. Five contractors submitted bids by the February 14, 2025 closing time at 2:00 PM: Backwoods General Contracting (Central Point, OR), Trees Plus Northwest (Salem, OR), Tree North (Salem, OR), Top Notch Tree Service (Grants Pass, OR), and Arborists of America (Sherwood, OR). One bidder's ESB number (12253) was noted as invalid. The bid tabulation serves as preliminary documentation only and is not an indicator of award.

Bid pricing ranged significantly across all five contractors. Mobilization costs ranged from $2,000.00 (Arborists of America) to $7,550.00 (Top Notch Tree Service), while tree and vegetation clearing costs ranged from $24,000.00 (Backwoods General Contracting) to $58,007.00 (Arborists of America). Total project bids ranged from $27,000.00 (Backwoods General Contracting) to $60,007.00 (Arborists of America). As an Oregon ESB-reserved procurement, all bidders were required to hold ESB certification; however, one contractor's ESB number validation failed. Award determination would proceed to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all qualification requirements.
