The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation is seeking bids for hazardous tree maintenance services in the Genesee Region, covering multiple counties including Allegany, Cattaraugus, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Orleans, and Wyoming. The contract will span five years, contingent upon approval from the Office of the State Comptroller. Prospective bidders can access the Invitation for Bids (IFB) package through the agency's Procurement Opportunities page, where updates such as amendments and responses to questions will also be posted. Interested parties can request inclusion on the bidder's list by contacting the designated representatives. The agency emphasizes a commitment to diversity in subcontracting, setting goals of 15% each for Minority-Owned and Women-Owned subcontractors, although this solicitation is not a set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned businesses. Submissions must be received by 3:00 PM on December 18, 2025, and all proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the bid requirements outlined. The primary and secondary contacts managing this solicitation are Becky Kirker and Meagan Oswald, respectively.

The work locations include Lake Ontario State Parkway and other sites within the Genesee Region, ensuring the maintenance of park safety by mitigating hazardous tree risks across the state-managed parks in the specified counties.
