3.26 Contract with Bay Area Tree Specialists for the Removal of Camp Fire Hazardous Trees in the
Butte Creek Canyon Area -The Department of Public Works removes burnt, dead and dying trees
within the County road right-of-way as part of the Camp Fire recovery effort. Approximately
7,000 trees have been identified as hazardous in accordance Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) guidelines and need to be removed. The trees were evaluated by the County's
arborist, American Tree Medics. The tree removal project is divided into five contracts to reduce
the overall contract size and encourage local, smaller firms to bid as well as to allow the County
to better manage cash flow for the project. The first solicitation issued was for removal of trees
from the Camp Fire burn scar in the Butte Creek Canyon area. The contract scope includes felling
and removing identified hazardous trees, traffic control, storm -water management, and
management of a debris disposal site, in accordance with all federal, State and Local regulations.

2019. The Department reviewed the bids and other required documents submitted with the bid
and determined that the lowest responsive and responsible bidder is Bay Area Tree Specialists,
with a bid amount of $784,949. This bid is 18.36% below the engineer's estimate for the project
of $961,500. The Project Specifications for this project are on file at the Public Works office at 7
County Center Drive in Oroville — action requested —1) APPROVE THE PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS;
