FY27-19 Tree Work Services

The Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program (BRGPP) is soliciting competitive bids for tree work services on behalf of participating members throughout Massachusetts for fiscal year July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029 under an extended three-year term. This procurement encompasses tree trimming, maintenance, and removal services with an estimated total value of $1,230,240.00. Bids became available online through BRGPP's OpenGov procurement portal on Thursday, March 12, 2026, with a deadline for submission no later than Thursday, April 2, 2026 at 1:00 PM, at which time bids will be publicly opened and read aloud via Zoom. All tree work service bids are subject to prevailing wage rates pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 149, Sections 26-27F and Chapter 30, Section 39M. A 5% bid deposit in the form of a bid bond or certified check is required. Bidders should note that BRGPP reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids in total or in part.

The procurement encourages minority and women-owned businesses to submit bids, and BRGPP affirms its commitment as an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. While no incumbent vendors or current contractors are specified in the legal advertisement, the tree work services procurement is part of a broader collaborative purchasing initiative that includes nineteen distinct bid packages for highway products and services. The estimated contract value for tree work services is $1,230,240.00 over the three-year performance period. Bidders should be prepared to meet prevailing wage requirements and comply with all applicable Massachusetts labor laws. No specific MassDOT pre-qualification is mandated for tree work services, unlike certain other bid packages within this solicitation that require pre-qualification for guardrail, pavement markings, and pavement surfacing projects.
