Tree Health & Hazard Assessment

The contract titled Tree Health & Hazard Assessment is a subcontract issued by the Massachusetts Procurement Department to conduct rapid post-event evaluations of tree health and structural integrity following incidents such as storms, fires, or other disturbances. The primary objective is to swiftly identify hazardous trees that pose risks to public safety, infrastructure, and property, enabling prioritized emergency response and mitigation efforts. The work is specifically focused on the area of School Street in Brockton, Massachusetts, with a zip code of 02301, and requires qualified professionals to perform on-site assessments using industry-standard methodologies for evaluating tree condition, decay, stability, and potential failure points. Respondents must submit proposals by August 3, 2026, and the contract falls under the NAICS code 541620, which corresponds to environmental consulting services. The evaluation tasks will demand prompt deployment after events occur, ensuring timely data collection, risk classification, and actionable recommendations for removal, pruning, or monitoring. Failure to accurately and efficiently execute these assessments could delay public safety responses and increase liability, so the contractor must demonstrate proven experience in arboricultural hazard assessment, emergency response protocols, and familiarity with local environmental conditions in Massachusetts. While no specific set-aside provisions are indicated, the solicitation is open to eligible subcontractors capable of meeting the technical and operational demands of the scope.
