Street Trees

The City of Troy, located in Oakland County, Michigan, is seeking sealed bid proposals for the purchase and planting of approximately 500 balled and burlap trees through an electronic procurement process. The contract will be for a one-year term, with bids to be submitted exclusively through the BIDNET (MITN) Procurement System by Thursday, August 21, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. Bidders must submit their electronic proposals before the specified deadline, with no fax transmissions or late submissions accepted. The procurement opportunity requires vendors to provide a comprehensive tree planting service, which includes the sourcing, delivery, and installation of trees within the city's designated areas. The bid will be publicly opened during a specified Zoom meeting, as detailed in the Instructions to Bidders document, with a focus on selecting a vendor capable of meeting the city's urban forestry needs.

While specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are not explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate their capabilities in urban forestry and tree planting services. The contract appears to be open to qualified vendors with experience in municipal tree procurement and planting. The estimated quantity of 500 trees suggests a significant landscaping investment, though the precise budget range is not specified in the available information. Interested vendors should carefully review the full bidding instructions, potentially prepare for potential site inspections, and ensure they can meet the technical specifications for tree selection, transportation, and planting. Vendors should also be prepared to comply with any local regulations and standards related to urban tree planting in the City of Troy.
