Prime contractors interested in working at Ste. Genevieve National Historical Park the work will consist of: Providing all labor, materials, tools and other equipment necessary for tree removal: Hazard tree removal is needed at two separate locations within park boundaries, 1) Wilhauk House (park's headquarters building), and 2) Kern House. A total of twenty-three (23) trees will need to be removed from these two locations ¿ sixteen (16) trees at park headquarters, seven (7) trees at the Kern House. Each tree must be removed as close to the ground as possible. Stump grinding is not required. The twenty-three (23) trees located at both the Wilhauk and Kern property are either dead or overhanging above a structure. Due to the location hazards, the contractor should anticipate the usage of specialty equipment, tree climbing, or additional labor to navigate and remove each identified tree. The contractor is responsible for removal of all tree materials while taking precautions to ensure that park grounds are preserved and unimpaired from equipment usage. We anticipate that work would begin in August 2025 for tree identification and removal will take place during the months of November 20205 - March 2026.
