a. Refurbish, maintain, develop and/or expand public use places and spaces.
6. GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Goal 4.0 Conserve and protect wildlife habitat, plant and animal species of concern, and

Policy 4.1 Preserve and protect native and habitat supporting plant resources throughout
the City.
7. DISCU5SION and BACKGROUND
Background
Santiago Creek, specifically between the SR 55 freeway and Grijalva Park, has become
overgrown with non-native plant material, is inaccessible to emergency services, and' has
collected a large amount of debris. City staff is not able to devote the work force needed to
perform initial clean-up of the creek bed, which is necessary to maintain fire prevention and
access for law enforcement in order to reduce the incidents of trespassing and unlawful
encampments, as well as allow City staff access for regular debris removal. This project is
similar to the recent removal efforts along portions of Handy Creek.
Discussion
The agreement consists of removing low hanging tree limbs to allow for a 6-foot clearance from
the ground; and pruning of shrubs to ensure a clear line of site. Dead or damaged branches will
be removed regardless of height. Dead and non-native palm trees will be removed. All trash and
debris will be removed.
The project is exempt from provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act under
Section 15304, Class 4 (Minor Alterations to Land). The proposed project consists of performing
crown raising or clearance pruning to trees and shrubs and will not involve the removal of
healthy, mature, scenic trees and will not disturb the creek bed and slope grade. A copy of the
Notice of Exemption is attached for reference.
The Community Services Department sent out a public/formal bid for this work based on
approved plans, details and specifications (Bid #189-03 Santiago Creek Tree and Brush
Clearance). Bids were received on August 9, 2018 from three qualified contractors. The bid
abstract summary is attached for reference. The Community Services Department has selected
ITEM 2 10/9/18
Great Scott Tree Service, Inc., as the lowest responsible bidder, to complete this work. The
contractor will commence work upon final contract execution with a goal of completing all work
prior to the rainy season. The three bids received are as follows:
1. Great Scott Tree Service Stanton, CA $107,700
2. Helix Environmental Construction La Mesa, CA $155,880
3. Brightview Tree Care Services Santa Ana, CA $1,617,000
The amount of the bid received from Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. is $107,700. The Agreement
does provide an hourly crew rate for contingent work. A contingency for additional work based
on unforeseen conditions, in the amount of$10,770 is included. The total not to exceed amount
of the agreement is $118,470.
An appropriation of unreserved General Fund balance (100) in the amount of $118,470 is
requested to support the agreement.

IN'I'RODUCTION - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. is a full-service operation equipped and
qualified to provide you with the best solutions for all of your tree maintenance needs. GSTS
will deliver a level of quality that meets or exceeds the International Society of Arboriculture
(ISA) standards. We are dedicated to providing tree services that results in a neat, clean and
attractive appearance to trees and associated sites serviced. Below is an overview of the most
common tree maintenance services that we can provide.
TREE PRUrTING is performed when conditions within the crown of a hardwood tree are such
that the entire tree needs to be fully pruned. Complete pruning is recommended when the
primary objective is to maintain or improve tree health and stnicture, and includes pruning to '
reduce overall canopy mass and excessive wood weight.A Full Prune typical[y consists of one or
more of the following pruning treatments:
• Crown Cleaning or cleaning out is the removal of dead, diseased, crowded, weakly attached
and low-vigor branches and water sprouts from the entirety of the tree crown.
. Crown Reduction is used to reduce the height and/or spread of a tree.Crown reduction varies
from topping, a destructive practice, in that cuts are not made indiscriminately, resulting in
large stubbed off limbs that are subject to decay.
• Crown Resloralion is corrective pruning used as a means to restore the form of crowns that
have been previously damaged by extenuating circumstances. This treatment is best
performed by tree workers who have a good understanding of the effects of pruning for the
cultivation of tree canopies.
• Crown Thinning includes crown cleaning and the selective removal of branches to increase
light penetration and air movement into and through the crown. Increased light and air
stimulates and maintains interior foliage, which in turn improves branch taper and strength.
Thinning reduces the wind-sail effect of the crown and the weight of heavy limbs.
SERVICE REQUEST PRUNING - At the discretion of the City, service requests can be
submitted directly through our web vendor portal or through your dedicated supervisor. City
Representatives will have the option, at their convenience, to schedule a vendor portal training
seminar where they will leam how to create•and track service requests, view upcoming and
ongoing jobs,and track overa(1 work history in both GIS map form as well as printable invoice /
work history form. Once a request has been submitted City Staff will receive itemized service
proposals for review and approval.
Regardless of the preferred submittal methods our firm can and will mobilize/deploy crews in
any timeline that best fits the County Representative's expectations and needs. It is our intention
to work directly with County Staff in providing a level of flexibility to allow for all ranges of
response time including, planned project schedules,non-emergency,and emergency requests.

SMALL TREE CARE is most commonly utilized in the process of"training" young trees to
promote a strong arrangement or system of branches with good attachment,appropriate size, and
desirable spacing. We support the belief that appropriate care during the tree's establishment
period will go a long way in creating safer, aesthetically pleasing,and heathy trees in the years to
come.
TREE REMOVAL consists of the removal of the entirety of a hardwood tree or palm tree and
the removal of its root system. Removals will be completed per monthly lists or individual
service requests submitted by the County's authorized representative. With advanced notice
GSTS will identify the location of all utilities and private property landscape irrigation
components prior to the remova]of a tree and its root system. �
GSTS will maintain control of the tree and its parts at all times; branches, limbs and trunk
sections will be carefully lowered to the ground so as to avoid damage of any type caused by
free-falling items.
Immediately following the removal, stumps, including the root flare and surface roots sha(I be
ground to a depth in accordance with ANSI Z133 Standards and County of Orange
Specifications.
TREE PLANTING - Great Scott Tree Service along with Elite Nursery will coordinate any
planting needs. Elite Nursery is a subsidiary of Great Scott Tree Service and has a 3-acre parcel
of land in the City of Stanton that is used for growing grounds. Elite nursery is fully functional
and can grow specialty trees, as well as, purchase other types of trees depending on availability
and size. Prior to planting GSTS can assess the planting site and provide the County with a
Recommended PlantinQ Guide which will include an outline of viable replanting options and will
include detailed description sheets of each species included.
Planting palettes will always be determined by our ISA Certified Arborists after a cazefully
consideration of the planting site area size, probability of successful establishment, cohesive
aesthetics to the immediate surrounding area,and the County's general development goals. Upon
approval from the Countys's authorized representative, GSTS will coordinate purchasing and
planting operations. Our planting team will conduct all soil preparation, tree installation, and
backfill to ISA standards,ANSI A300 standards,and County specifications.
NOTIFICATION - At least seven (� working days prior to the commencement of any
nonemergency work at any tree site, the Contractor shall, by mailing, notice the occupant(s) of
that property of the type of work that shall be performed and the anticipated time frame during
which the work shall be performed. In addition, at least seventy two hours (72) in advance of
grid trim work,the Contractor shall supply and post standardized signage on the trunk of the tree
at the site work at which work is to be performed,with the signage clearly staring what type of
work is to be done and what affect the work will have on parking availability at that paRicular
site.

EMERGENCY SERVICES - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. understands the importance of a
timely response in the event of emergencies within the County.Our unique customer base along
with our strategic market plan allows our work crews to be centrally located in the Los Angeles
County Area.This allows for prompt responses in the event of emergencies. We utilize a twenty-
four(24)hour emergency hotline which is routed to our area manager and crew leaders who will
immediately respond during normal business hours of operation, after-hours, weekends and
holidays. Great Scott Tree Service, Inc, has a superb record in regards to the prompt response to
emergency call outs. We have auxiliary staff that can respond to tree related emergency
situations ranging from limbs down on a single tree to large scale storm related damage requiring
the commitment of significant resources and staffing levels for several days. Response time for
emergency and after-hours tree.service requests will never be greater than one (t) hour. Our
response team will never leave until a site has been safely cleared of all tree related hazards.
ROOT PRiJNING.is the process of pre-cutting roots behind the line of a planned excavation to
prevent tearing and splintering of remaining roots. Pruning should only be considered when
feasible and careful consideration of the minimum distances from the trunk must always be faken
into consideration to establish the allowable limits of cut-back so as not to compromise the
anchorage of the Vee. GSTS will always notify the County when root pruning is not a viable
option and will never proceed if the pruning will in any way jeopardize the health, stability, or
safety of the tree in question.
ROOT BARRIER INSTALLATION is a method utilized to prevent damage to hardscapes
from tree roots and when used appropriately this application can be utilized to help trees thrive in
difficult urban and suburban surroun.dings. Root barrier installation includes all the root pruning
methods described above with the added application of installing semi-rigid deflector panels
placed between the tree roots and hazdscapes.As will root pruning,the same considerations must
be taken.before a tree can be deemed a viable candidate for this application. Again, GSTS will
always notify the County when root barrier installation is not a viable option and we wiq never
proceed if the installation will in any way jeopardize the health, stability, or safety of the tree in
question.
TREE WATEIiING will be performed by a one man crew with a water truck who will water
various routes including landscape median and young trees that are three (3) yeazs old and
younger. GSTS will water all trees in such a manner that will not result in erosion of the tree-
watering basin,splashing of parked vehicles or damage to any of the tree's surroundings.
CONSiTLTING ARBORIST / INSPECTION can go a long way in keeping liabilities at a
minimum. Great Scott Tree Service employs several consulting arborists who can respond to
inspection requests and provide detailed reports and recommendations on as little as an
individual tree to Iarge tree populations.
