SECTION 01570
TREE PROTECTION
A. Tree Barriers:
All trees which will be preserved, but are within the limits of construction, must be protected from
all damage associated with construction. A sturdy, physical barrier (fluorescent orange in color)
must be fixed in place around each tree for the duration of construction. This barrier will be
placed no closer than six (6) feet from the trunk, or one-half of the drip line, whichever is greater.
The barrier itself must be fixed so it cannot be moved easily, but the material can be flexible, such
as orange safety fence attached to metal T-posts driven into the ground, but must act as an
effective deterrent to deliberate or accidental damage of each tree. The Project Engineer or
Manager must approve actual materials and location of barrier.
The movement or storage of equipment, material, debris, or fill within these required protective
barriers is completely prohibited.
In situations where the construction will come closer to a tree than six (6) feet, the orange barrier
must still be erected. However, additional padding must be placed around the trunk of each tree
starting at ground level and proceeding up the trunk to a height of six or seven feet. Padding
should be a minimum eight (8) inches thick, and made of a material strong enough to protect the
bark from accidental impacts with hand tools or power equipment.
B. Accidental Poisoning:
During the construction, the Contractor shall not cause, or permit the cleaning of equipment or
material within the root zone of any tree. The Contractor shall not store or dispose of waste
material including, but not limited to; paints, solvents, asphalt, concrete, mortar, or any other
material harmful to the life of a tree, within the root zone of each tree, or group of trees.
C. Root Pruning Specifications:
When the cutting of tree roots is necessary, each final cut must be made as cleanly as possible
for all roots over three (3) inches in diameter using the following method:
1. The line of excavation will be drawn out and appropriate excavation equipment used to clear
the area at least six inches in front of the actual finished excavation line. Roots can then be
cut using tools such as axes, stump grinders, or trenchers.
2. Each root over three (3) inches in diameter will then be cut cleanly back to the excavation line
using stump grinder operated by an experienced licensed arborist. A sharp hand or bow saw
is acceptable for roots under three (3) inches in diameter. Axes and trenchers do not cut
roots cleanly and will not be used for final root cuts.
D. Contractor shall coordinate with the Owners’ Field Representative prior to and during the tree
protection erection and root pruning activities. Owners’ Field Representative, at his/her opinion,
will contact the City Forester and/or City Arborist for advice and approval of the tree protection
measures taken by the Contractor and also the City’s advice and approval during the root pruning
activities.
E. No damaging attachments, wires, signs, permits or other objects may be fastened by any means
to any tree preserved on this project.

F. Violation of Specifications and Penalties for Damaging Trees:
Any violation of these specifications will lead to penalties based on the type of violation and/or the
resulting damages, and may be grounds for the termination of this contract.
The penalties will be assessed based on the amount of damage done and the total value of that
tree, or group of trees, prior to the damage. The minimum penalty will be $100.00. Penalties for
any damage will be based on the total value of the tree as determined by the City Forestry
Division staff and the severity of the damage as a proportion of the total value of that tree. This
could include up to the full value of the tree.
As an example, there are two American Elm trees to be preserved on another project.
They are valued at $7,960 and $6,667 for the south and north trees respectively. The
south tree is approximately 100 inches in circumference; therefore each inch is worth
one-hundredth of the value, or $79.60 per inch. Similarly, the north tree is 91 inches in
circumference, making each inch worth $73.26. To extend this to penalties paid, if one
inch of the bark on the south tree is scuffed, the penalty would be $100 (the minimum
allowed); if two inches are damaged, the penalty would be $159.20 and so on up to 50%
of the circumference of the trunk. If 50% or more is damaged, the full value of the tree
will be assessed as a penalty. (This example serves to illustrate how damages will be
assessed).
This method of assessing penalties will be applicable to all trees not marked for removal on the
project, accidental poisoning and improper pruning.
