Conservation/FS/Marion Fish Hatchery-Tree Removal

The State of Alabama, specifically through Mobile County, is seeking a tree removal contractor for the Marion Fish Hatchery located at 36 Bass Drive, Marion, AL 36276. The procurement opportunity requires the complete removal of multiple trees, including one large 75-foot pine tree, two dead pine tree stubs measuring 40-50 feet, and one fallen 80-foot oak tree. The project mandates a site visit on 03/17/2025 at 11:00 AM, with Leslie Dunstan serving as the point of contact at 334-327-3537. Contractors must complete the entire project by 04/01/2025, with a strict prohibition on using sub-contractors or third-party vendors. The solicitation requires a comprehensive quote covering all labor, supplies, materials, and equipment necessary for tree removal, with an "All or None" bidding approach. The procurement is being conducted through Alabama's standard Quick Quote process, which requires vendors to be registered in Alabama Buys and submit electronic responses through the Supplier Portal.

The procurement does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Potential bidders must be registered in the Alabama Buys system and comply with state procurement regulations, including mandatory enrollment in the E-Verify program and adherence to the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act. Vendors must be in good standing with the Alabama Secretary of State and affirm no involvement in trade boycotts or collusive bidding practices. While no specific budget range is detailed in the documentation, the project appears to be a focused, single-site tree removal initiative. The solicitation emphasizes strict compliance with state procurement standards, requiring electronic submission, tax compliance, and adherence to standard contractual terms outlined in the state's Quick Quote Standard Boilerplate document. No incumbent vendors are mentioned, and the project seems to be a standalone tree removal service without complex technological or infrastructural integration requirements.
