Tree and Stump Removal

The state and local contract opportunity, issued by Sangamon County in Illinois, is a solicitation for tree and stump removal services across 23 residential addresses. The procurement requires contractors to completely remove trees and their associated stumps, with specific technical requirements including grinding stumps 4 inches below ground level. The scope of work is divided into two distinct line items: Line 1 covering tree and stump removal, and Line 2 addressing site restoration, which includes grading, topsoil filling, and grass seeding. Contractors are strongly advised to conduct site visits to each location to develop accurate bid proposals, as tree removal conditions will vary. The project has a defined timeline, with all work to be completed between the bid award date and October 15, 2025. Mandatory documentation includes two photographs documenting the removal process, and contractors must remove all wood, chips, and debris from the site. The solicitation requires contractors to begin work within 10 days of receiving the bid award notice, with invoices to be submitted to Shawn Johnson at SDJOHNSON@PEORIAGOV.ORG, which will be processed within 2-3 weeks.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the solicitation appears to be open to qualified tree removal and landscaping contractors. The procurement does not indicate any preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or specific vendor categories. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements. The documentation does not specify a precise budget range or award value for the project. Interested contractors will need to develop their own cost estimates based on the detailed scope of work, which involves removing trees at 23 different residential locations and performing comprehensive site restoration. The competitive nature of the solicitation suggests that pricing, technical capability, and demonstrated experience in tree removal and site restoration will likely be key evaluation criteria for potential contractors.
