Historic Cultural Landscape Tree Work, Removal

The National Park Service requires tree removal and pruning services at the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site in Brookline, Massachusetts. This requirement is a combined synopsis/solicitation under solicitation number 140P4326Q0038 for specialized arboricultural work within a historic landscape. The agency will award a firm-fixed-price contract to a small business for hazardous tree mitigation and maintenance pruning. The scope includes removing specific hazardous trees, stump grinding, and pruning various species identified in the site inventory. Work must follow ANSI A300 and Z133 standards, and personnel must be certified arborists. Performance tasks include thinning, grinding stumps to 18 inches below grade, and replanting with two-inch caliper trees. Site-specific limitations require construction matting to protect the grounds. Proposals are due by June 26, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT, and will be evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology. The project involves removing and pruning a specific inventory of trees, grinding stumps, and managing debris at a historic site. The project involves managing eight identified trees and various debris piles while maintaining the site's historical integrity.
