Subject: Proposal for Vegetation Removal at La Gran Via Project Site
Dear Ms. Howard:
Habitat Restoration Sciences, Inc. (HRS) is pleased to submit this proposal for vegetation
removal at the La Gran Via Project site. The cost estimate and scope of work are provided
below.
Scope of Work
This proposal covers the cost for installation of 100 If of orange construction fencing to block
the access points to the road and at the pipe repair work area where there is a steep drop.
Following the installation of the construction fencing, HRS will begin vegetation removal around
the work area where the broken pipe will be repaired (approximately 1,500 sf).
Additionally, all vegetation along the access road will be removed. Vegetation removal methods
will include cutting all shrubs to grade using loppers, chain saws, or other hand tools and
chipping the material to be hauled off-site. All organic chipped material would be left spread and
left on-site. Any other trash/debris encountered would be disposed of legally at an off-site
location.
HRS will provide a backhoe and operator to perform minor grading work along the access road.
It is assumed the City will provide HRS with 40 cubic yards of clean backfill material. Following
the grading and vegetation removal, HRS will install 60 If of straw wattles and 50 If of silt
fence. It is anticipated that all of the tasks listed will be completed in two work days.
This scope of work covers labor and materials, and is based upon our understanding of the
projects specifications and scope of work. Additional services required beyond this scope of
work would need to be negotiated between HRS and the client accordingly.
