The City of Livonia Parks and Recreation Department is seeking a contractor to execute a replacement apple tree planting project at Greenmead Historical Park's Simmon's Orchard. The procurement involves procuring and planting six specific apple tree varieties: four Malus domestica 'Cox's Orange Pippin' and two Malus domestica 'Gravenstein', all trees must be 4-5 feet tall and balled and burlapped. Bidders are required to submit responses by 2 p.m. on September 2, 2025, through bidnetdirect.com, and must provide at least three references for similar projects completed within the last five years. The project requires precise specifications for tree selection, handling, planting, and maintenance, including detailed requirements for root ball size, planting techniques, soil composition, and post-planting care. Contractors will be responsible for tree inspection, proper planting, watering, staking, and providing a one-year guarantee on tree survival. Site visits are available by appointment during the week of August 25, 2025, with contact available through Emily at 248-477-7375 or etchorz@livonia.gov. The project is scheduled for completion by October 3, 2025. The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for specific types of organizations. The contract requires contractors to meet American Association of Nurserymen standards and provide various insurance certificates. The city will retain 5% of the final payment until a warranty inspection confirms the trees' health, and the contractor will be responsible for any damage to existing infrastructure during the planting process. While a specific budget range is not detailed, the project involves a limited number of trees with specific varietal requirements, suggesting a relatively modest contract value. No incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure integration requirements are mentioned in the documentation. Interested vendors must demonstrate expertise in nursery tree procurement, specialized planting techniques, and the ability to meet stringent quality and maintenance standards for historical park landscaping.
