The scope covers removal of one oak tree at 617 Blair Street, one oak tree at 707 Blair Street, and one ash tree at 711 Blair Street, all located in Greensboro, North Carolina. All tree limbs must be removed from the city lot without damage to surrounding landscape and vegetation, and stumps must be cut as close to grade as possible. Bidders must submit a total fixed price for removal of all three trees.

The anticipated project start date is August or September 2026.

The city will award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. The city reserves the right to accept or reject any bids, waive minor technicalities, request financial documentation, and award multiple contracts if determined to be in the city's best interest. The contract may require North Carolina Council approval before award. Contractors are responsible for all costs associated with bid preparation and must comply with North Carolina Public Records laws and confidentiality requirements.
