supply street trees

The state and local contract opportunity issued by the Amesbury Department of Public Works (DPW) in Essex County, Massachusetts, is seeking to procure five Halka Thornless Honey Locust trees (Gleditsia Triacanthos Inermis) with a 3"-4" caliper. The procurement is specifically for street tree replacement in Amesbury center, aiming to maintain the original streetscape style established in the late 1990s. Deliverables include the trees being delivered to the Amesbury DPW at 39 South Hunt Road by May 23, 2025, with DPW staff responsible for subsequent installation, watering, and maintenance. The bid document requires vendors to submit pricing proposals per tree and for the total five-tree order. The procurement is structured as a competitive bid, with proposals due by May 7, 2025, and interested vendors can seek additional information by contacting Joseph W. Buckley, P.E., Director of the Municipal Development Center. Evaluation criteria appear to focus on meeting the precise tree specifications, delivery timeline, and competitive pricing.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are explicitly outlined in the provided documentation. The procurement does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or local vendor requirements. Similarly, there are no details about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements. While the document does not specify a precise budget range, vendors are expected to provide comprehensive pricing for the five trees. The contract appears to be a straightforward municipal procurement with a clear scope of supply and delivery. The opportunity represents a targeted replacement of street trees, suggesting a relatively modest contract value focused on maintaining the aesthetic and functional landscape of Amesbury's central area. Potential bidders would need to ensure they can meet the specific tree type, size, and delivery specifications to be considered for the contract.
