Mountain Home National Cemetery



Work shall consist of general arboreal maintenance of trees to include Crown pruning located throughout the Mountain Home National Cemetery, located at 53 Memorial Avenue, Mountain Home, TN. The primary emphasis during completion of the work shall be to preserve and improve the health of the older growth trees without compromising the safety of the public or cemetery personnel. All work must be done without disturbing or damaging existing gravesites and must be completed according to the specifications and ANSI A300 (Part 1) -2001 (American National Standard Institute) requirements for tree maintenance pruning.



All work must be done without disturbing or damaging existing gravesites. The work will be performed for a lump sum price. Although this specification provides detailed requirements for all work to be performed, all interested contractors should perform a site visit at the cemetery to ensure they understand the full scope of the work and site conditions. The site visit will afford the contractor sufficient time to make certain that he can determine the exact extent of work required for each tree. Trees were also evaluated for required maintenance and the data was recorded to form the basis for this contract.
