Request for Proposals: Hazardous Tree Removal Component – Greater Cobb Area

Submission Deadline: October 8, 2026

The County of Lake has contracted with the Lake County Resource Conservation District (“District”) to deploy California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) grant funds originally awarded to the County of Lake. These funds were awarded to the County of Lake following its 2022 proclamation of a Local State of Emergency due to pervasive and widespread tree mortality in southern Lake County. These funds support the identification, assessment, and removal of dead and dying trees, particularly those impacted by bark beetles, within the County right-of-way along critical evacuation routes and roads that provide direct access to evacuation routes in southern Lake County.

In early September 2026, the District completed the first phase of this effort consisting of a professional arborist assessment and inventory of hazardous trees and trees impacted by bark beetle infestation within the greater Cobb area. Based on the findings of that assessment, the District is now soliciting proposals from qualified contractors to perform the tree removal work and/or limbing of identified trees in accordance with the arborist’s recommendations and this RFP.
