Tree Risk Surveys and Management Plans

Description

This is a pre-market engagement document and is not a tender document. The outcome expected of this market engagement is to guide the Council's future procurement for these works, and for potential providers to put forward their interest, should this proceed to a tender stage in future. It is intended that providers can submit comments about these documents which potentially could be used to assist us should this progress to a tendering stage. South Holland District Council (SHDC) and Boston Borough Council (BBC) are seeking an Arborist / suitably qualified inspector, to complete an inventory of trees on Council land with an assessment of risk in the respective areas, as follows: 1. Zone all SHDC and BBC sites (see A1 in the example strategy attached, Appendix A) - desk exercise 2. Carry out an inventory of trees across all sites - collect data as per current Industry/Forest Research Data Standards 3. Undertake Active Assessment of those trees in Zones of High Confluence 4. Train Council 'parks and gardens' staff to be able to undertake Passive Assessment (half a day in the field)
