Jeffersonville Silo Park Tree Delivery and Planting

The Lamoille County Planning Commission is seeking proposals for a tree delivery and planting project in the Village of Jeffersonville, located in Grand Isle County, Vermont. The Request for Proposals (RFP) solicits qualified landscapers and nurseries to purchase, deliver, and plant 32 balled and burlapped trees at the Silo Park fields. The project aims to improve the tree canopy, provide shade for pedestrians and cyclists, enhance stormwater management, and create a more attractive gateway along Route 15. Specific requirements include trees with a minimum 2" caliper size, featuring a mix of species such as red maple, river birch, oak, spruce, and serviceberry. The procurement opportunity was posted on August 18, 2025, with proposals due by September 5, 2025. Interested vendors are encouraged to review the attached RFP and planting plan or contact victoria@lcpcvt.org for additional information and clarification.

While the RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, potential bidders should carefully review the complete RFP document for any such requirements. The procurement appears to be open to professional landscaping companies and nurseries with the capability to source, deliver, and plant the specified tree varieties. No specific budget range or award value was provided in the available documentation. Interested vendors should thoroughly examine the attached RFP for comprehensive details about submission requirements, technical specifications, and evaluation criteria. Given the nature of the project, contractors will likely need to demonstrate expertise in urban forestry, tree selection, planting techniques, and familiarity with municipal landscaping projects in Vermont.
