REQUIREMENT
The Forestry Branch of the City of Ottawa has a requirement for a qualified service provider to provide all labour, equipment, and materials for the provision of Ash Tree Treatment Services at various locations as part of its Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) management strategy, in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications of RFT No. 15223-95845-T01.
The City is continuing with an injection program for selected ash trees on City property. This contract is part of a multi-year program for EAB control and ash tree protection.

PERIOD OF CONTRACT
The period of contract shall be for two (2) seasons, from approximately 01 June 2023 to 15 August 2023 and 01 June 2024 to 15 August 2024. The City may, at its discretion, extend the period of contract for two (2) additional two- season periods (2025-2026 and 2027-2028) subject to satisfactory performance by the Contractor and provided the contract pricing, terms and conditions for the extended period are acceptable to the City and the Contractor.
