Dead Tree Removal - Campus

The state of New York, specifically Erie County, is seeking a contractor to remove 50 trees located at 1200 East & West Rd in West Seneca, NY. This procurement is a one-time purchase for dead tree removal services on a campus location. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for Monday, August 25th, 2025, at 10:00 AM, where vendors can inspect the project site and ask questions about specifications. Vendor questions must be submitted by August 27th, 2025, with official responses provided by August 29th, 2025. The bid submission deadline is Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025, at 2:30 PM, with bids required to be emailed to opwdd.sm.wny.bo.procurement@opwdd.ny.gov. The procurement documents include a scope of work detailing tree removal requirements, a map of the trees to be removed, and a Request for Quotation (RFQ) that likely outlines specific technical and performance expectations for the selected vendor.

The contract opportunity does not have a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned business set-aside, which means all qualified vendors can potentially bid on the project. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the provided documentation, the scope appears to be a relatively contained project involving the removal of 50 trees. The procurement is being managed by the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), suggesting the trees are located on a state-managed campus facility. Interested vendors will need to carefully review the attached documents, particularly the RFQ and tree removal scope, to understand the full technical requirements and ensure compliance with the specified removal procedures. The mandatory site visit on August 25th will be crucial for vendors to assess the project's complexity, site conditions, and potential challenges associated with the tree removal process.
