Summary
Seeks a qualified partner to plant 2,000 replacement street trees in existing vacant tree basins over two years, and to provide ongoing weekly watering for up to 2,000 trees per year from a list provided by Public Works. The grant scope does not include planting new trees or new tree basin creation and is eligible for a 12-month extension. The selected Grantee will carry out comprehensive tree-care services—including site identification, planting, young-tree care, and routine watering—while adhering to all Public Works standards for inspection, species selection, safety, and tree-care protocols. This work directly supports the City’s Urban Forest Plan and contributes to growing the street tree population to 155,000 trees over the next two decades. In addition to tree-care operations, the program includes a workforce development component designed to provide career pathways in urban forestry for residents who face employment.
