Committee told RFP for public‑property tree inventory is nearly ready
Summary
Staff said an RFP for a public‑property tree inventory and assessment is being finalized and will be posted soon; members emphasized consistent methodology if a private inventory runs in parallel and suggested keeping the item on monthly agendas until bids are in.
Staff reported the city is preparing an RFP for tree‑inventory and assessment services covering trees on public property. "That is the RFP grant, that Chris has been working on," staff said, adding the RFP must be posted publicly and go through a bidding process before a contractor is selected.
Committee members recommended making sure inventory methodologies are consistent across any future private‑property inventory and public inventory, and suggested ongoing check‑ins until bids are received. Members discussed possible piggybacking on a larger bid to reduce overhead and shorten procurement timelines; staff said the RFP for public lands is the first step and that private inventories would be considered separately.
The committee asked staff to keep the item on monthly agendas until the RFP has been posted and initial bids are returned, and to coordinate with Chris (the project facilitator) on methodology details that could be included in the scope.
