Tree Removals. Tree removal shall be caried out in accordance with the Migratory Birds Convention Act and Species at Risk Act as it relates to harming migratory birds or destroying their habitat and carry out the work in compliance with the Act.
Tree Removals. 1. During the course of trimming activities for a specified street, Contractor shall notify the City of any trees which may be dead, hazardous, or in need of removal for any reason. The City shall make the final determination to remove or provide public noticing for removal at a later date. Removals shall be conducted in good workmanlike manner in accordance with the standards of the arboricultural profession.
2. All wood from removed trees is the property of the City and shall be disposed of at the direction of the City. No wood shall be left along public right-of-way unless approved by the City. All tree parts are to be loaded into transport vehicles or containers. The vehicles or containers must have the front, sides and rear solid and the top shall be tarped or otherwise tightly enclosed. The transporting of tree parts must be made so that no debris escapes during the transport. Branches, suckers, bark and other tree parts that are chipped are to be covered while transported and hauled to the disposal site during the workday.
3. Contractor shall be required to call Underground Alert at least two (2) days before stumps are to be ground out. All tree stumps must be removed to at least eighteen (18) inches below the lowest soil level adjacent to the xxxxx, or until deep roots are no longer encountered. The Contractor shall grind the xxxxx a minimum distance of one and one half (1½’) feet either side of the outer circumference of the xxxxx, or until surface roots are no longer encountered.
4. Stumps should be cut low enough to the ground where routing can be done safely. This may be accomplished by cutting the xxxxx at the time of grinding, or at the time of tree removal. All stumps are to be ground within forty-eight (48) hours of tree removal. Holes created by xxxxx and root grinding must be filled the same day. The resultant chips from routing may be used to fill the hole to two (2) inches above normal ground level unless a new tree is to be planted in the same location and clean fill dirt will be required as a backfill. All excess routing chips debris will be removed and loaded into transport vehicle for disposal. Any damaged paved surfaces shall be restored to their original condition.
Tree Removals. After the City determines that a tree requires removal, the City prepares list of trees to be removed, marks trees, notifies homeowners and submits lists to Contractor. Contractor calls Underground Service Alert (USA) and prepares internal work order. Crew removes tree and hauls all debris. Crew grinds stumps to a depth of eighteen (18”) inches. All holes will be backfilled; as well as all debris cleaned up and hauled away. Special projects that are difficult to access with equipment or require the need for a crane or an aerial tower over seventy- five (75’) feet would fall under Service Crew rates.
