24-170 Delta - TILBURY SANITARY FORCE MAIN TREE REMOVAL

City of Delta invites bids for the tree removals near highway 91 and 17, “the Work”, as described in the specifications and drawings provided as appendices to the Invitation to Tender.

The Work generally consists of
i. Removal of all trees and shrubs within the 8m right of way down to grade level a. All tree stumps to be 6” or lower b. 76 trees measuring over 20cm DBH have been inventoried in the attached arborist report, but all trees and shrubs regardless of size within the right of way must be removed as part of this contract
ii. Chipping and spreading in place

The site contains a high-pressure water main and sanitary forcemain. Extreme caution working on or around the mains must be taken by the contractor under Delta/Metro monitoring. There is to be no direct tree falling on either of the mains, and minimal disruption over the mains. Care is also to be taken to avoid disturbance to below grade tree structures. Only rubber-tracked equipment may be used in the right of way with a maximum weight on track of 20,000.

Work is to be completed by the end of October 2024 as the area is muddy and access will be difficult to maintain into winter. Currently there is access from 96 st, though additional access may be available upon discussion with the site owners.
