Districtwide Tree Trimming

Anaheim Union High School District is requesting bids for districtwide tree trimming services under RFP No. 2027-05, with sealed bids due October 16, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. PST and a mandatory pre-bid conference on September 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. PST at 501 N Crescent Way, Anaheim, California. Attendance at the pre-bid conference is required for bid responsiveness. A C-49 (Tree Service) California contractor license is the qualifying filter.

The scope encompasses removing branches overhanging roadways, sidewalks, and utilities; removing dead trees and stumps; trimming branches near power lines per utility company standards; removing all debris from work areas daily; chipping or hauling branches and trimmings; and sweeping and cleaning adjacent sidewalks and streets with disposal at approved facilities. All contractors and subcontractors must comply with California prevailing wage requirements (Labor Code sections 1720 et seq.), register with the California Department of Industrial Relations throughout the project, and submit certified payroll records monthly to the Labor Commissioner.

The contract is structured for a three-year base term with two optional one-year renewal periods. Bidders must provide bid security equal to 10 percent of the maximum bid amount (cash, cashier's check, certified check, or bid bond from a California-admitted surety) and, upon award, furnish separate performance and payment bonds each equal to 100 percent of the total contract amount within five calendar days. The District includes a $15,000 allowance for unforeseen circumstances and will not issue change orders on the bid project.

The District reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. DVBE participation is required where feasible. Pre-bid clarification requests are due October 7, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. PST. Additional requirements include workers' compensation insurance, general liability insurance, automobile liability insurance, drug-free workplace certification, and compliance with the District's alcoholic beverage and tobacco-free campus policy.
