SPECIFICATIONS FOR
STREET TREE PRUNING BID 2002
Post Office Block
First Interstate Bank Block
Old Fort Collins High School Block
1. lob Description
Perform a complete prune on all, or a portion, of 73 street trees on City right-of-way in
three separate blocks. A block is defined as an entire square block bounded by four
streets. The Post Office Block is bounded by Olive on the north, Magnolia on the south,
Meldrum on the west and Howes on the east. The First Interstate Bank block is bounded
by Mason on the east, Oak on the north, Howes on the west and Olive on the south.
The Old Ft. Collins High School block is bounded by Remington on the west, Pitkin on
the north, Lake on the south and Matthews on the east.
Location and description of each tree are listed on the attached bid sheets. A price per
each tree listed is required, as well as section totals for each block and a grand total for all
three blocks. This bid will be awarded based on low responsive, responsible bid per
block as well as ability to complete the project within the given time frame.
2. General Information
City Forestry staff will assist all bidders in locating trees on job site.
The starting date of this job shall be decided by mutual agreement between the Assistant
City Forester and the contractor. Job completion must occur on or before June 1, 2002.
3. Specifications Pertaining to Tree Removals
a. In the event a tree is determined to be in need of removal rather than pruning, these
removal specifications will be adhered to.
b. Completely remove trees, leaving the stump as low to the ground as possible.
c. Properly dispose of all logs, limbs, and brush from each removal.
d. Contact Assistant City Forester to arrange starting time.
e. Standards of Workmanship for Tree Removal:
(1) Cleanup of branches, logs and other debris resulting from tree removals shall
be promptly accomplished. The work area shall be kept safe at all times until the
cleanup operation is completed. Under no condition shall the accumulation of
brush, limbs, logs or other debris be allowed to result in a hazard condition.
(2) Under no condition shall it be considered proper to leave any severed or partially
cut limbs in the upper portion of any tree being removed after the tree workers
leave the scene of the operation.
(3) Whenever large tree sections are being cut in a treetop which may endanger
anyone or property, such materials shall be secured by ropes and lowered safely
in a controlled manner.
(4) At least one responsible tree worker shall serve to coordinate safe operations on
the ground at all times when work operations are in progress.
(5) Winch trucks should not be tied to trees or utility poles in the process of tree
removal or otherwise be used for the purpose of securing anchorage or leverage
while removing other trees or portions thereof.
(6) All elm wood (of the Ulmus species) shall be hauled immediately to the Larimer
County Landfill for proper disposal.
4. Specific Requirements Pertaining to the Pruning of Trees
a. No tree shall be cut in such a manner that it's health or eventual safety will be
impaired. Exceptions will be made only in cases of tree pruning or removal for
emergency relief of immediate danger to persons or property. Any such emergency
procedures must be reported promptly to the Assistant City Forester with plans for
completion or follow-up work submitted for approval.
b. A drop -crotch cut removes the terminal portion of a stem or branch. This type of cut
is used to maintain height, correct storm damage, suppress competing limbs and to
reduce the perimeter of a crown. The cut is made back to a living side branch that is
at least 1/3 (minimum) to'h (optimal) the diameter of the cut branch. Such cuts shall
be considered proper only when such remaining limb is vigorous enough to maintain
adequate foliage to produce woody growth capable of closing the trimming cut within
a reasonable period of time.
c. A thinning cut removes a branch back to its parent stem or the trunk. The purpose is
to reduce canopy density and eliminate conflicts or competition between limbs. Such
cuts shall be considered proper only when the natural bark protection zone is not
breached, nor a stub left.
d. Crown topping, heading, tipping or rounding -over shall be considered improper
pruning methods and will not be employed to any degree on this project.
10
e. All final tree trimming cuts shall be made in such a manner as to favor the earliest
possible closing of the wound by natural callous growth. Flush cuts shall not be made.
Flush cuts are defined as pruning cuts made to the inside of the branch collar. All
final cuts should be made just outside the natural branch collar.
f. Tree limbs shall be removed and controlled in such a manner as to cause no damage to
other parts of the tree or to other plants or property.
g. All cutting tools and saws used in making tree trimming cuts shall be kept adequately
sharpened to result in final cuts with a smooth wood surface and secure bark
remaining around the perimeter of the cut.
h. Whenever trimming cuts are to be made while removing limbs too large to hold
securely in one hand during the cutting operation, the limb shall be cut off first one to
two feet beyond the intended final cut. Then the final cut shall be made in a manner
to prevent unnecessary tearing back of the bark and wood.
5. Complete Prune
a. Description of "Complete Prune": This operation of tree trimming shall consist of the
general removal of dead, dying, diseased, damaged, conflicting, broken, and structurally
unsound limbs to improve the overall health, safety, structure and aesthetics of each
tree.
b. Specifications:
(1) Properly remove all dead, dying or weakened branches of 3/a inch or greater
diameter.
(2) Remove all broken branches or any loose branches lodged in the tree.
(3) Remove any live branches which interfere with the tree's structural strength
and healthful development, which will include the following:
(a) Limbs which rub and abrade a more important branch.
(b) Limbs of weak structure which are not important to the framework of
the tree.
(c) Limbs forming multiple or co -dominant leaders, particularly those that have
junctures with included bark. Select the best leader and suppress or remove
those limbs that compete with that leader.
(d) Limbs which, if allowed to grow, would wedge in the junction of more
important branches.
11
(e) Limbs with twigs and foliage that obstruct the development of a more desirable
branch.
(f) Smaller limbs and twigs near the end of supporting branches which contribute
to too much weight or wind resistance at the branch end.
(g) Undesirable suckers and water sprouts in the bottom 1/3 of the crown.
(h) Selective removal of stubs or broken limbs back to developing leaders and
suppression or removal of limbs that compete with the developing leader.
(i) Remove or drop -crotch prune branches which project beyond the symmetrical
form of the canopy.
6. Standards for Workmanship
a. General Standards for Workmanship
(1) Authorized work in this job neither expresses nor implies a right to violate
any law of the land while in process of performing such work.
(2) All such work shall be conducted in a manner as to cause the least possible
interference with or annoyance to other.
(3) Inadequately or improperly trained personnel shall not be utilized for
work on or with trees or shrubs beyond their known capacity or ability to
perform properly or safely.
(4) A qualified supervisor shall be present at all times when work is being
performed except that he may be absent for short periods during the day
when necessary because of emergencies or other urgent matters.
(5) Any injury to persons or damages to any improvement, tree, shrub or
structure while working on this job shall be promptly reported to the
Assistant City Forester.
(6) Any use of tools or equipment in unsafe conditions or any application of
techniques or methods deemed unsafe to life, limb or property is
forbidden.
(7) Pedestrian and vehicular traffic shall be allowed to pass through the work
areas only under conditions of safety and with as little inconvenience and
delay as possible.
