Tree Trimming

The Village of Cobleskill, located in New York, is soliciting competitive bids for a comprehensive tree trimming service across two distinct project areas: Veteran's Park (Bid #1) and village street right-of-ways (Bid #2). The procurement opportunity allows bidders to submit proposals for either or both project segments, with the bid opening scheduled for May 19, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. in the Village Clerk's office. For Bid #1, contractors will be responsible for trimming trees in the center park, removing dead branches, ensuring a 10-foot clearance over sidewalks, and disposing of cut branches. Bid #2 encompasses tree trimming along 22 specified village streets within the right-of-way, requiring work to be performed 5 feet past the curb line and maintaining a minimum 15-foot clearance above the road surface. Bidders must provide comprehensive pricing inclusive of labor, equipment, manpower, safety equipment, signage, and branch disposal, while adhering to New York State Department of Labor Prevailing Wage Law.

The contract opportunity does not include any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged, minority-owned, women-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, with all subcontracting goals set at 0%. Prospective bidders must provide proof of workers' compensation, disability insurance, and general liability insurance. The Village reserves the right to award bids separately, reject any or all proposals, and make awards based on unit prices or total lowest price. Additional requirements include maintaining a 10-foot distance from utility lines, utilizing DOT-approved signage and flaggers, and restoring any damaged property to its original condition. While no specific budget range is provided, contractors must submit a non-collusive bidding certification and maintain bid validity for a minimum of 45 days from the opening date.
