About this opportunity

The City of Tucson is seeking a professional firm or individual to conduct a comprehensive tree inventory across city-owned properties and landscaped right-of-ways through Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 222969. The project is a critical first step in supporting Mayor Romero's Tucson Million Tree initiative, which aims to plant 1 million trees by 2030. The selected contractor will be responsible for inventorying an estimated 75,000 to 150,000 trees across approximately 47 square miles, including GPS mapping and data compilation into the City's Geographic Information System (GIS). Key deliverables include gathering baseline data for all city-owned trees, conducting health assessments, and identifying vacant planting locations. The project requires a contractor with a minimum of five years of experience in tree inventories and three years of GPS mapping experience. Proposals were due on March 2, 2022, at 2:00 PM local time, with a pre-submittal meeting held on February 16, 2022. The contract will be for an initial two-year term, with the City reserving the option to renew for three additional one-year periods.

The solicitation includes Section 3 requirements from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which prioritize employment and economic opportunities for low- and very low-income persons. Contractors must complete and submit necessary forms from the Section 3 Special Conditions, with potential sanctions for noncompliance including contract termination and debarment from future HUD-assisted contracts. While a specific budget is not explicitly stated, the RFP indicates the City is seeking a comprehensive approach that centers equity and environmental justice. The project will ultimately be used to develop planting goals, an urban forestry master plan, and a public-facing urban forestry interface to encourage stewardship and open data sharing. The final report will detail tree types, tree density, and maintenance needs, providing a foundational resource for future urban forestry management in Tucson. Potential contractors should be prepared to demonstrate their ability to integrate with the City's existing GIS infrastructure and provide detailed, actionable data for urban forest management.
