Description

The Forest Preserves of Winnebago County is soliciting bids for three separate forestry project components at Funderburg Forest Preserve. Component One is clearing trees and brush from 31.5 acres, primarily using specified forestry mulching equipment, with herbicide treatment of regrowth. Component Two is removing and processing logging slash and storm-damaged woody debris across 165 acres, including hauling debris to designated burn piles and burning it. Component Three is treating invasive woody vegetation across 165 acres, primarily through licensed applicators using backpack sprayers and approved herbicides. Bidders may submit for any or all components, and each component will be awarded separately. The total project budget is $200,000, allocated across the three components, though final allocations are at the District’s discretion. The work includes specific equipment, licensing, safety, environmental-protection, and performance requirements. The solicitation provides a bid form with company information, component-specific pricing and capability responses, and an affidavit of compliance; the affidavit must be submitted with the signed bid form. Three similar-project references are requested for each component bid. Proof of insurance is required before construction, not with the bid.
