SCOPE OF WORK
Neighborhood Street Tree Replacement
Description:
This bid is for a unit price to replace City street trees located in parkway areas (usually
the zone between the sidewalk and curb) that are mostly part of new neighborhood
developments in the City of Fort Collins. In most cases, trees will be planted along
residential streets in front of or to the side of residential properties. Parkway widths are
generally 4-6 feet wide, but some could be as wide as 9 feet. Some trees may be
planted along collector and arterial streets. In most cases the parkway will be turf that is
irrigated with an underground irrigation system. Trees will be from a selected list of
balled and burlapped, 2.0 inch caliper canopy shade trees. Other species or cultivars
not on the list will be priced as needed.
Specifications:
1. Around 100-150 trees will be planted per year.
2. Projects will be assigned in groups of approximately 10 -20 trees at a time and
may include multiple species. Assignment of projects may start as early as March
and extend into November. More than one contractor may be used throughout
the season.
3. Individual projects must be completed within 3 weeks from being assigned.
4. The contractor will be provided the address and assigned species and/or cultivar
to be planted.
5. The planting locations will be marked with a pink wooden stake prior to the

area where a tree has been pulled out of the ground or where the stump and
surrounding root flare have been completely ground out. In most cases the tree
being removed and replaced will be 6 inches in caliper or less.

8. The City will mulch all trees and provide regular tank watering after planting. The
contractor is responsible for one initial thorough watering at planting.

above ground for less than two years may be acceptable. Stock held above
ground 1-2 years will only be acceptable by special approval and only if quality
and condition have not been reduced by extended storage.
13. Trees shall be protected at all times from injury of any kind. Protect rootballs from
drying out during storage, transport and the planting process. When trees are in
foliage special care should be taken to prevent crowns from drying out. Cover
trees with a protective cloth or tarp when transporting. If trees must be
transported at higher speeds (i.e. - the interstate highway), they must be covered
with a protective tarp.
14. Caution must be used to prevent damage to roots, trunks and branches during all
phases of storage, transport and during the planting process.
15. Planting holes shall be dug 1.5 times wider than the tree ball. Existing soil shall
be used for back fill. Trees shall be planted so that the top of the natural ball is
about 1" above grade. Planting holes shall not be over excavated in terms of
depth.
16. Remove at least the top half of the wire basket and burlap.
17. Remove all labels, flagging and twine from around the trunk and branches.

Service Agreement- Rocky Ridge Nursery & Landscape LLC Page 13 of 15
