Pt. Molate Vegetation Management

The City of Richmond’s Public Works Department is seeking a qualified firm to provide vegetation management services at various parcels within Point Molate, California, for an initial three-year period from fiscal year 2024/2025 through 2027/2028. The total contract value is capped at $180,000, with an option to extend the agreement for up to two additional one-year terms, which could bring the total potential expenditure to $300,000. The contract is performance-based, meaning there is no guaranteed minimum amount of work, and services will be carried out under a formal agreement with the selected contractor. It is important to note that some parcels may change ownership during the contract term, and the City will not be responsible for ongoing services on parcels transferred to new owners, who may independently contract for continued vegetation management. The scope of work emphasizes environmentally sensitive vegetation control techniques, including mechanical and cultural methods to remove invasive species, promote native plants, and reduce wildfire fuel loads. Contractors with expertise in these areas are encouraged to apply. The solicitation was posted on October 30, 2024, with responses due by November 14, 2024. The project is managed under NAICS code 561730, and interested firms can find additional details and submit responses through the City’s procurement portal. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Wade Finlinson via email.
