This document is a Scope of Work for the Post Hurricane Ian McGregor Palm Replacement Project issued by the City of Fort Myers Public Works Department in Florida. The project involves installing 143 Royal Palm (Roystonea elata) trees along McGregor Boulevard from Henley Place to Georgetown's south entrance, with trees located on both the east and west sides of the boulevard. The scope of work details specific requirements for palm tree installation, including tree specifications of 10' Clear Truck (CT) and 5' Gray Wood (GW), comprehensive pruning instructions, and a detailed watering schedule spanning 52 weeks with varying frequency (4 times per week initially, reducing to twice per week by the 52nd week).

The document outlines extensive technical specifications for palm tree installation, including precise planting guidelines such as maintaining original planting depth, ensuring vertical axis placement, using native soil for backfill, and water-settling the backfill. The contractor is required to replace any defective work or palms, with the city's Arborists making final determinations. A one-year warranty is included, beginning on the project's completion date, with a final review and acceptance by the city's Arborist at the end of the year. The scope of work provides detailed instructions on staking, visual inspections, and ongoing maintenance to ensure successful palm tree establishment.
