Tree Trimming and Removal

The State of Hawaii is requesting bids for tree trimming and removal services at Pu'u Ualaka'a State Wayside Park in Honolulu County, with proposals due October 16, 2026.

The scope encompasses selective trimming and removal of trees throughout the park to improve safety, aesthetics, and functionality, with disposal of all trimmed vegetation and debris. Contractors must provide detailed work plans, equipment specifications, and safety protocols prior to commencing operations. The work must be completed within the October 2026 timeframe, with weather-related contingencies addressed through pre-established modification procedures.

Contractor requirements include liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and adherence to Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources regulations. Bidders must demonstrate experience with similar tree maintenance projects in tropical environments and comply with all local environmental and cultural sensitivity guidelines applicable to state waysides.

Supporting documentation includes a Scope of Work, sketched map delineating work zones within the park, photographic site documentation showing current vegetation conditions and specific trees marked for trimming or removal, and a Bid Quotation Form. Bidders may structure pricing on a per-tree basis, hourly labor rates, or lump-sum proposals and must account for site cleanup, debris removal, and park restoration upon completion.

Payment is structured upon completion of defined work phases and inspection approval by park management. Work is funded through the state's park maintenance budget.
