TOTALS $634,968 $677,032$725,000 $579,000 $8,000 (1795)(1476) General Notes/Comments: There would be a substantial change tothe landscape of the Roseville Urban Forest. However, the above rough draft provides for a 5-6 year program (with residual in final year) to substantially eradicate EAB on public property and maintain a reasonable canopy throughout time. This would be an unusual approach. If interested, we would wantto begin immediately and have closer conversations with potential tree contractors to assess feasibility of magnitude, timing, procurement method and approach. Propose Best Value ProcurementMethod o Request for Proposals (RFP) would include solicitation of a single vendor that could manage a multiyear contract to complete the job. o This project would be similar to multiyear Natural Resources Restoration Program –may also include grant option. o Would be proposals and not a low bid. o One contractor may manage multiple contracts, i.e. treat, removeand replace City decision would need to be made with time to allow for thorough research, RFP and selection process for any year prior to implementation i.e. if year is 2020 start, then decision made by August/September of 2019. This program would phase out treatment. Average cost assumption = $400 to remove and $450 to replace.
