Can the City please provide a link to the Pre-Proposal Conference?

What appraisal methods are to be used for city owned trees?

What are the right-of-way distances behind curb/sidewalk? 36,000 ROW trees seems to be a very high estimate.

How will funds be utilized if there are far less ROW trees than estimated?

What is the City's ideal timeline for completion of this project? Is there flexibility?

Can the City share the anticipated budget range for the project?

Does the City have a preferred method for tree appraisal?

Does the City have an anticipated budget range for the project?

For the City owned inventory, can the City clarify the intended meaning of “Tree Appraisal Value” (e.g., CTLA trunk formula method, replacement cost method, or another standard) and whether the City has a preferred valuation approach?

Task 2-B requires a Risk Rating (Low, Moderate, High, Extreme) for all City owned trees, and Exhibit A-3 references ISA TRAQ for “hazardous trees.” Does the City expect the Risk Rating to be based on a formal ISA TRAQ assessment performed by TRAQ credentialed staff for all inventoried trees, or is a planning level risk category acceptable with TRAQ applied only to trees identified as hazardous/1st priority removals?

For the City owned inventory “Picture” requirement, is the City expecting one photo per tree (minimum), and should photos be stored as attachments in a geodatabase, as file paths/URLs, or another format?

For “tabular data shall be included in the UFMP document,” does the City want (a) summary tables only (counts, condition, risk, species), or (b) full inventory attribute tables included as appendices?

The RFP references “using the existing Oregon Department of Forestry canopy assessment.” Can the City share the specific ODF dataset or report being referenced (name/link), and confirm the year the canopy information is based on (imagery/analysis date)?

Please confirm whether canopy work is limited to using an existing assessment to support goal setting, or whether the City is open to (or expecting) development of a new canopy baseline if existing data is outdated or unavailable.

Should the approach to the Scope of Work be included in Section 1 (Project Understanding and Approach) or Section 3 (Project Costs)?

Are there any page‑limit restrictions for the scope of work and fee estimate appendices beyond the note that they do not count toward the 10‑page limit? Additionally, may we include additional information about our approach in an appendix?

Will the City accept proposer‑requested revisions to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA), and if so, should proposed changes be submitted with the proposal?

The RFP references the submission of ‘insurance and bonds’ (Section XI) and Exhibit 2 also refers to ‘all bonds,’ but the solicitation does not specify any required bond type or amount. Please clarify whether any bonds are required for this contract, and if so, which type(s) and the corresponding amounts.

Is the canopy goal included as part of the engagement and outreach?

What appraisal method should be used for the tree inventory?
