Shade Tree Watering Program

Request for Quotations

PURPOSE

The City invites Quotations from experienced and qualified Contractors for the provision of everything required including all skilled labour, tools, materials, equipment for shade tree watering and any other requirements.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Services to be performed throughout the City by the Contractor should include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Probe watering of trees; and
2. Filling watering bags that are attached to trees.

The Contractor shall perform all services and provide all labour, tools, equipment, material, and secure all permits necessary for the complete performance of the work.

The City will provide spreadsheets, organized geographically, identifying tree locations requiring watering. Using the provided spreadsheets and the City’s online mapping program (COSMOS at http://cosmos.surrey.ca), the Contractor will be required to create main road and park maps to indicate specific tree locations. Trees located in residential subdivisions can be located without maps using the spreadsheets provided by the City that list each tree by specific residential address.

The goal of the watering program is that each tree is watered once per week (every 7 days). Each tree must be watered at an interval not less than 5 days and not exceeding 9 days.
