TREE TRIMMING SPECIFICATIONS
The reasons for pruning to be performed on this contract include the following: reducing
hazards, maintaining or improving tree health and structure, improving aesthetics, removing
diseased, dead, dying, decayed, interfering or obstructing branches, and training young trees.
All pruning will be done in accordance with the latest version of the American National Standard
for tree pruning: ANSI A-300 "Maintenance Pruning" category, as further detailed in the latest
version of the ISA "Tree Pruning Guidelines." Additionally, this work will be accomplished within
the following specifications:
MAINTENANCE PRUNING
A. Crown Cleaning shall include the removal of dead, dying, diseased, crowded, splitting,
weakly attached, low -vigor branches, and water sprouts from a tree's crown.
(1) Remove the above described branches and all stubs greater than %2" in diameter
from trees less than 24.5" (size class 1 &2). Remove the above described branches
and stubs greater than 1" from trees 24.5" and in diameter and over (size classes
3,4,& 5).
(2) Remove all suckers or water sprout growth on the main trunk, including the base of
the tree, from ground level up to the lowest crotch.
(3) Remove one of two or more crossed and/or rubbing branches greater than %2" in
diameter from trees in size classes 1 &2 where practicable. Remove the above
described branches greater than one inch in diameter from all other trees.
B. Crown Thinning is the selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and
air movement through the crown, and reduce weight.
(1) Trim all trees so the natural form and shape of the tree is achieved so far as it is
possible.
(2) Try to leave at least %2 of the tree's foliage on branches that arise in the lower 2/3 of
the tree, unless doing so prevents achievement of the clearance requirements
described in "Crown Raising" below.
11
(3) Avoid heavy weight distribution on the ends. Thin laterals to a well spaced even
distribution along the limbs of the main branch. When thinning laterals from a limb,
an effort should be made to have mechanical stress more evenly distributed along
a branch and throughout the tree.
(4) Efforts shall be made to avoid "lion -tailing" which is caused by removing all or most
of the inner foliage.
(5) No more than 25% of the foliage on a mature tree should be removed within a
growing season.
(6) Branches to be thinned shall be %2" and greater on trees in size classes 1 & 2, and
1" and greater on all other trees.
C. Crown Raising is the removal of lower branches in order to provide clearance.
(1) Raise all lower branches and hanging branches to a minimum height of 14' over
sidewalks and street where practicable. Balance tree evenly.
(2) Where practicable, remove lower branches from trees that are over 12' tall so that
the lowest crotch is at least 6' above the ground.
(3) In some cases a tree extends over the street and sidewalk, but its overall height is too
small to allow raising to 14' entirely around the tree. In such cases the necessary
clearances may be achieved by using thinning cuts to remove downward growing
laterals from the street side to completely clear the roadway up to 14', and by raising
the tree over the sidewalk to 8'. In these cases the tree may be left unbalanced.
D. Crown Reduction reduces the height or spread of a tree.
(1) Tree branches 8' or closer to a building or other manmade structure shall be
pruned to achieve at least 8' of clearance. Remove the entire branch if practical,
otherwise perform crown reduction pruning by cutting the branch back to a lateral at
least 1/3 its size.
E. Young Tree Pruning -for trees in class 1 (3-12.5"). In addition to the above specifications,
the following shall apply to all trees in size class 1:
(1) A single, straight trunk or central leader shall be maintained for most trees.
(2) The development of a good, structurally sound scaffold branch system should be
maintained by selective thinning of branches and/or removing dead, interfering, split,
and broken branches. Particular attention should be paid to removing branches or
branch crotches that cross or have included bark.
(3) Branches should have an even distribution of foliage along their lengths in order to
increase trunk taper and a more uniformly distributed branch weight and wind stress

27
with applicable provisions of this clause by such subcontractors; and further it will promptly
notify the contracting agency and the Department in the event any subcontractor fails or
refuses to comply therewith. In addition, the contractor will not utilize any subcontractor

following month.
7. METHODS OF PAYMENT
Payment under the Contract will be made in accordance with the Illinois Local Government
Prompt Payment Act, 50 ILCS 505/1 et seq.
8. HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT (CONTRACTUAL LIABILITY)
Contractor assumes full responsibility for the acts and omissions of its employees and
agents while engaged in performing services under the Contract. Contractor agrees, to
the greatest extent permitted by Illinois law, to protect, indemnify, save and hold forever
harmless the Village, its officers, appointed and elected officials, Mayor and Board of
Trustees, employees, volunteers, attorneys and agents from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, and costs and expenses
resulting from any suit, claim, demand, judgment, or cause of action initiated by any
person, including Contractor and its officers, officials, employees, subcontractors,
volunteers and agents, arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with the
performance of services covered by this Contract or the equipment used in connection
therewith.
9. CONTRACTOR'S LIABILITY INSURANCE
Contractor shall not commence with the performance of services under this Contract until
it has obtained all insurance required hereunder and such insurance has been approved
by the Village. Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with the Village prior to
commencing work. Additionally, Contractor will provide the Village with a letter from the
insurance carrier that the Village will be notified within thirty (30) days of the pending
cancellation of any policy relating to this Contract.
28
Each insurance company shall be subject to approval by the Village, and the respective
policies shall name the Village as an additional named insured. Approval of the insurance
by the Village shall not relieve or decrease the liability of Contractor hereunder. Such

purchased by the Village. Such insurance will not be canceled, reduced, or materially
changed without providing the Village thirty (30) days advance written notice, via certified
mail.
Contractor shall maintain all insurance required under subsections a through h of this
Section for not less than one (1) year after completion of this contract.

The Village and Contractor reserve the right to terminate the Contract at any time upon
ten (10) days advance written notice to the other party. In addition to the provisions set
forth in Section General conditions (A,9) for immediate termination, failure of Contractor
to perform any aspect of this Contract properly and/or to provide proper treatment to the
general public, in the sole discretion of the Vilage, is cause for immediate termination of
the Contract without prior notice.
11. LENGTH OF CONTRACT
Contract shall be in effect beginning January 16, 2019 and shall remain in effect until
December 31, 2020, unless terminated by either party under the conditions specified in
Section 10, Contract Termination.

one (1) additional year at the same bid prices as the second year. Village will advise the
Contractor of its wishes by mid-December 2020 for a possible extension into 2021. If an
extension is offered, the contractor will need to inform the Village of his decision no later
than December 1 st, of that year. Additionally, if a contract is extended, the Contractor shall
then be required to submit each year an updated certificate of insurance, proof of Mount
Prospect business license or contractor's license and any required bonds. All contract
deadlines will be one year later than those listed for year two.
All awards are subject to future funding and budget approval by the Board of
Trustees. Should the contract be terminated due to lack of funds, the Village will provide
as much notice as possible and as soon as possible.

The Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 ILCS 140/1 et seq., applies to public
records in the possession of a party with whom the Village has contracted. The Village
will have only a very short period of time from receipt of a FOIA request to comply with the
request, and there is a significant amount of work required to process a request including
collating and reviewing the information.
Contractor acknowledges the requirements of FOIA and agrees to comply with all requests
made by the Village for public records (as that term is defined by Section 2(c) of FOIA) in
its possession and to provide the requested public records to the Village within two (2)
business days of the request being made by the Village. Contractor agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Village from all claims, costs, penalty, losses and injuries (including
but not limited to, attorney's fees, other professional fees, court costs and/or arbitration or
other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to its failure to provide the public
records to the Village under this Contract.

successors in interest.

of Illinois and applicable federal law. Venue shall only be proper in a court of competent
jurisdiction located within the County of Cook, Illinois.
