Trees, whether naturally occurring or planted, are a valuable asset on every DoD installation. Forested areas improve air quality, reduce energy costs, preserve wildlife habitat, and contribute to water and soil conservation in a built environment. Trees are an important resource that not only provide texture, color, and beauty to an installation's surroundings, but also modify the local environment and give an installation a specific character and identity. Trees should be properly managed, including selection, planting, and maintenance. Identifying, quantifying, and understanding an installation's tree population is crucial to determining a comprehensive, long-term approach to its wellbeing. Trees will generally live longer and gradually require less intensive care with scheduled maintenance. (UFC 3-201-02, Landscape Architecture). The services to be performed include, but are not limited to, data collection on all deciduous trees, in addition to all conifer trees within designated improved areas. The contractor shall collect data for each tree to include: global positioning system (GPS) location, abbreviation (based on USDA nomenclature), botanical name, common name, Diameter at Breast Height (DBH), total tree height, height to live top, height to crown bottom, crown width, % crown missing, condition and dieback, crown light exposure, setting, ground plane, direction from closest building, distance to closest building, notes (conflicts, primary and/or secondary maintenance comments), and photograph of tree.
