by the Assistant City Forester. There are occasions where a smaller stump grinder may be
necessary to complete a job.
Clean up of stump grinding chips and debris shall be as follows:
Street tree stump cavities will be filled with chips and soil from grinding operations to a level slightly
above the surrounding grade. Haul excess chips and debris within three (3) days of grinding. Chip
piles shall not be left on streets, curbs or sidewalks at any time. Contractor must ensure that these
areas are passable and safe to the public for use as soon as possible. There are occasions where
a street tree stump cavity will need to be cleaned out and filled with topsoil. On these occasions the
price per inch for park stumps will be used.
Park tree stump cavities will have all the debris from stump grinding removed and the stump
cavities filled with topsoil. Topsoil will be provided by the contractor. Contractor will be required to
contact forestry staff prior to working in a park, cemetery, or golf course.
Cemetery stump cavities will not have any clean up, other than raking grinding debris into a pile,
unless otherwise specified by Cemetery or City Forestry staff.
Stump sizes will be measured by City Forestry staff. The stump measurement will be determined
by the following equation: (A+B)/2= Stump Size
A= Length of the longest diameter transect which passes through the center point of the
stump (including root flare)
B= Length of the shortest Diameter transect which passes through the center of the stump
Contractor may verify stump sizes and challenge measurements prior to grinding. However, once a
stump is ground, the measurement provided by Forestry staff will be used.
SPECIFICATIONS
1. Grind stumps to 19” below the surrounding surface level, or to the bottom of the root
mass, whichever comes first. If the depth of the stump cavity is later found to not be at a
depth of 19 inches the contractor will be required to return and regrind the stump, with
no additional cost to the City of Fort Collins.
2. Upon receiving a list of stump locations the contractor will have 30 days to complete stump
grinding. A time extension may be granted by the Assistant City Forester.
3. Fill stump cavity to a level slightly above surrounding grade after all excess chips and debris
from grinding operation are cleared away. The debris remaining will offset the amount of soil
settling over time.
4. Haul excess chips and fill cavities within three (3) days after grinding each stump. Streets,
curbs and sidewalks should not be blocked by equipment or grinding debris for more than a
short period at any time. If they are blocked, the contractor must have them open for safe
BID 7383 Stump Grinding Page 6 of 17
public use as soon as possible. Proper warning devices and barricades must be used if a
stump cavity is left open and unattended for any amount of time.
5. Contractor will keep Assistant City Forester informed of progress in terms of which stumps
are scheduled and which are completed. This may be a weekly or monthly update.
6. Lists of stump locations with sizes will be provided to the contractor by City Forestry staff for
