A tree inventory typically includes the <br />documentation of the location, characteristics, and environmental surroundings of every tree, stump, and <br />vacant planting site in a particular geographic area. The last tree inventory was conducted nearly 15 years <br />ago. <br />ANALYSIS <br />At this time, the City needs a contractor to perform a tree inventory by inputting and updating attributes <br />about the City’s trees in TreeKeeper, a geographic information systems (GIS) tool that the PWS has used <br />6.E. - Page 1 of 19 <br />69
