The contractor must provide 24-hour emergency response with minimum staffing of three personnel, one chipper truck, and one aerial tower truck available within two hours of notification; additional equipment such as crane trucks may be requested for multiple emergencies.

The contractor must employ a licensed ISA arborist and comply with ANSI A300 Pruning Standards and MUTCD traffic control requirements.

Pricing is submitted using a fee schedule organized by tree diameter-at-breast-height categories, covering emergency response, tree removal with stump grinding, non-emergency labor and equipment by crew size, tree pruning, stump grinding with backfill options, and prestaging emergency services on an hourly basis. All pricing must be all-inclusive, encompassing labor, equipment, materials, debris disposal, traffic control, and site cleanup.
