2025 Tree Removal, Pruning, & Stump Grinding

The Incorporated Village of Garden City, located in Nassau County, New York, is seeking a comprehensive tree management contract for 2025, focusing on tree removal, pruning, and stump grinding services. The procurement opportunity involves removing 143 trees across various locations, with potential expansion up to 50 additional trees, and grinding 83 stumps. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience in tree removal and provide evidence of four similar projects completed in the Long Island or New York/New Jersey metropolitan region. The project requires precise removal of trees with diameters ranging from 8 to 50 inches, pruning in accordance with ANSI A300 1995 standards, and complete site restoration. Sealed bids are due by 11:00 AM EDT on May 1, 2025, with the entire project expected to be completed within 120 workdays from the commencement date. Pruning must be finalized by September 1, 2025, and the contract will utilize a unit pricing model based on tree diameter categories.

No specific set-aside designations are noted for this contract, though the opportunity is not restricted to service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. Previous contractors for similar tree management services include Harder Services Inc. (Fall 2023), Dom's Lawnmaker (2022), and Dragonetti Brothers Landscaping (2021-2022). The village will retain 5% of each partial payment until final project completion and acceptance. Contractors must provide performance, payment, and maintenance bonds, along with comprehensive insurance coverage, with the village named as an additional insured. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the detailed unit pricing structure suggests flexibility in total contract value based on the number of trees and stumps processed. The procurement allows for potential expansion of up to 100 additional trees or stumps, providing potential scalability for the selected contractor.
