The City of Quincy, Illinois, located in Adams County, is seeking quotes for its Annual Fall Tree Planting Program for the year 2025. The Request for Quotes (RFQ) solicits proposals for the purchase and potential planting of ten specific tree varieties, with a minimum procurement of 25 trees to be planted between November 1 and December 15, 2025. The solicitation includes two quote options: standard tree planting and tree planting with root barriers. Detailed tree specifications are mandatory, including burlap wrapping, a minimum root ball diameter of 24 inches, tree diameter of at least 2 inches, and specific height requirements for ornamental and shade trees. Vendors must provide per-tree costs for each variety and have the option to offer volume discounts. The city will select tree quantities based on quoted prices and available funding. The quote is due on September 19, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with trees available for review and delivery by October 27, 2025. Vendor qualifications include state certification, compliance with nursery standards, and trees within USDA growth zone 5. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly detailed in the document. Vendors must provide a written guarantee that trees planted in fall 2025 will fully bud out in spring 2026, with free replacement if they do not meet this condition. While a specific budget range was not provided, the procurement involves a minimum of 25 trees with potential for additional quantities based on pricing and available funding. The RFQ suggests the city will evaluate quotes based on pricing, tree quality, planting options, and vendor guarantees. The procurement allows for flexibility in tree selection and planting services, with vendors able to quote both tree supply and installation costs, including an optional root barrier installation. The document indicates this is an annual program, suggesting potential for ongoing business opportunities for successful vendors who can meet the specified technical and quality requirements.
