The City of Owosso in Shiawassee County, Michigan, is soliciting sealed bids for a Park Tree Removal project involving the removal of nine trees located in Adams Park. The procurement is a formal competitive bid process with strict submission requirements, mandating hard copy proposals with original signatures and explicitly prohibiting electronic submissions. Interested bidders must submit their proposals by 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, to the designated Bid Coordinator. Potential bidders are required to submit written inquiries at least seven calendar days before the submission deadline and can contact Thomas Wheeler at thomas.wheeler@ci.owosso.mi.us or 989-725-0556 to arrange a field inspection. The project timeline specifies that work must commence no earlier than October 3, 2025, and be completed by December 19, 2025. Bid documents are available at no cost through the city's website and the MITN website, and the city retains the right to accept, reject, or negotiate proposals based on its best interests.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The bid documents do not indicate any incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements for this tree removal project. While no specific budget range was disclosed, the scope is limited to removing nine trees in Adams Park, which suggests a relatively modest project scale. The city has structured the bid to allow competitive pricing from qualified contractors capable of completing the tree removal within the specified timeframe. Potential bidders will likely need to demonstrate expertise in tree removal, appropriate equipment, insurance coverage, and the ability to complete the work between October and December 2025. The procurement process appears designed to secure the most advantageous proposal for the City of Owosso through a transparent and competitive bidding process.
