- **Bid structure and selections:** One all-or-none base bid line, priced as a lump sum. Bidders must select a trash-removal approach, a quantity-reporting method, and a mulch destination. The specifications allow an alternate beneficial-use location to be proposed. The City provides no guaranteed minimum or maximum tree volume.

The source states that 225 suppliers were invited, but the supplied text names only these 15.
- **Performance period:** The 2026–2027 collection season, with monitoring beginning in late December and services continuing into mid-January. A weather-related one-weekend extension may apply; New Year’s Day operation is not required, and the final mulch-removal deadline does not change.
