Tree Removal Services

The Philadelphia Housing Authority is seeking qualified arboriculture contractors to provide comprehensive tree maintenance services—including pruning, removal, and stump grinding—across its portfolio of properties throughout Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The solicitation, identified as P-005498, requires proposers to be actively engaged in the field of arboriculture and to possess or have formal access to all necessary equipment such as trucks, chippers, stump grinders, and hand tools. Proposals will be evaluated on a best-value trade-off basis, with technical factors—demonstrated understanding of requirements, technical approach, and capabilities including staffing and management planning—each accounting for 20 points, followed by cost/price at 20 points, past performance at 10 points, and commitments to MBE/WBE and Section 3 participation each worth 5 points, totaling 100 points. Award will not be based solely on the lowest price but on the proposal offering the greatest overall advantage to PHA. The solicitation does not require formal FAR clauses, size status certifications, Unique Entity IDs, or CAGE codes, nor does it specify contract duration, option periods, security clearances, or detailed inspection criteria. Submission is due by June 15, 2026, and performance will occur at various locations within the City of Philadelphia, with all work expected to meet professional industry standards and safety practices. While no formal packaging, labeling, or invoicing procedures are outlined, proposers must provide a detailed technical and management plan demonstrating their ability to execute the scope of work effectively and consistently.
