Tree Trimming & Removal Services

The City of Peachtree City is soliciting sealed bids for Tree Trimming and Removal Services covering city-owned properties, rights-of-way, and greenbelts within Fayette County, Georgia. The procurement is for a fiscal year 2026 contract (October 1, 2025 - September 30, 2026), with potential extensions for three additional fiscal years. Specific services include removing dead, dangerous, and/or diseased trees, trimming branches, and performing stump grinding according to industry standards. Bidders must provide pricing for different service times, including regular hours, after hours, weekends, and holidays, with rates quoted per person per hour and stump grinding priced by diameter. Key qualifications include maintaining a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability and workers' compensation insurance, having a tree climber with at least three years of experience, and employing certified traffic flagging staff. Sealed bids are due by 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at City Hall. The city will evaluate bids based on the lowest, best, responsible, and/or responsive bid, with potential for phased contract awards.

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The bid documents do not mention incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requiring integration. While a specific budget range is not provided, the city indicates flexibility in contract award, potentially offering a discount rate if the selected contractor is permitted to use the city's compost site for debris disposal. The procurement appears open to qualified tree service firms capable of meeting the technical and insurance requirements. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical competence, appropriate staffing, safety protocols, and the ability to communicate effectively on-site. The potential contract value and total scope will depend on the city's tree maintenance needs throughout the fiscal year, with the option for multi-year extension suggesting a potentially significant long-term service agreement.
