Overview

Summary

The purpose of this solicitation is to establish a pool of contracts with qualified vendors to furnish labor, equipment, transportation and supervision to perform comprehensive vegetation management services for Seattle City Light.

Work will be performed throughout the entire City Light Distribution Service Area, possibly including Skagit Camps and Transmission tower right-of-way corridors.
This solicitation will replace current contracts 5242 with Davey Tree Surgery and 6518 with Xylem LLC (formerly with Kemp West).
Services under this blanket contract include, but are not limited to:
• Power line clearance tree trimming and removal (electrical hazard work)
• General tree trimming, pruning, and removal (non-electrical hazard work)
• Tree transplanting
• Stump grinding and brush removal
• Fuels management and vegetation clearing

• Emergency storm response and hazard tree mitigation

Background

The Power Line Clearance Program was established to provide adequate clearance to overhead wires and equipment for transmission and distribution systems on a maintenance or routine basis. The program has expanded to include comprehensive vegetation management services to support Seattle City Light’s operational needs, reliability goals, environmental commitments, and wildfire risk reduction efforts. The City currently has a pool of contracts in place that are due to expire soon. The 2024 combined spend on the contracts was approximately $11.5 Million.
