Sealed bids are due by 10:00 am on August 12, 2025, and will be opened and read aloud in the City Council Chambers, with proposals remaining valid for 90 days from the bid opening.

The unit pricing is structured by tree size, with separate rates for trees 14-36 inches and trees 37 inches or larger, as well as corresponding stump removal pricing. Tree and stump measurements will be taken at specific points, and the ground will be left level after removal, with the DPW installing topsoil, seed, and straw.
