Maps of specific portions of the roads in the beforementioned neighborhoods are appended and further discussed under Scope. The vegetation work will include work alongside and overhead of the roadway with a focus on limbing, thinning, and removing vegetation as outlined in Section Four. Said services must meet all applicable federal, state and/or local regulations. The City shall retain the lowest bidder for the Scope of Services (see Section Four). The City shall retain only one tree contractor for the Scope of Services. Interested businesses are invited to submit proposals in accordance with the requirements of this Request for Proposal (RFP). Proposals must be submitted via Bid Express (see Section Seven for instructions). The City will not accept any hard copies of the RFP. SECTION TWO: ACTIVITIES The proposed vegetation activities will occur weekdays, except holidays, between 7:00am to 5:00pm. This timeframe will conform with the appropriate noise ordinance (e.g., City of San Rafael Noise Ordinance § 8.13.050, Marin County Noise Ordinance § 6.70.030(5))4, which limits construction activities and other related work to Monday through Friday 7:00am to 6:00pm and Saturday from 9:00am to 5:00pm or 6:00pm, depending upon the ordinance. Work will progress along the roadway, limiting noise in any one location to a few hours. The type of noise is not uncommon in the built environment. Measures to minimize noise disruption to nearby neighbors and sensitive receptors will be implemented, as needed (NOI-1). Exceedances of local noise standards will not occur (given the short duration of noise generation in any one location and existing noise levels) and significant noise impacts will not occur. SECTION THREE: PROGRAM BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW Marin County voters passed Measure C in 2020, which established a 17 -member Joint Powers Authority, the MWPA, to fund and oversee proactive state-of-the-art wildfire prevention and preparedness efforts within the County. Members include several cities and towns, fire protection districts, and community service districts. The MWPA was formed to develop and implement a comprehensive wildfire prevention and emergency preparedness plan throughout almost all of Marin County. This project is a Core Project that is funded by and within the purview of the MWPA. Core Projects include those projects that focus on wildfire detection, notification, and evacuation; vegetation management and fire hazard reduction; grants management; and public education. The purpose of the project is to improve the safety of San Rafael roadways for routine use, emergency access, and emergency evacuation throughout neighborhoods, particularly in the hillsides of the San Rafael Zone. Improving the vegetation clearance along the identified routes will ensure safer routine use through improved visibility and clearance while also improving evacuation for residents and better access for first responders and emergency vehicles. The project will also improve access by local fire departments, improve visibility, and reduce heat exposure for evacuating residents in the event of an approaching wildfire. Page 3 of 17 Roadside Clearance along City Maintained Roads Request for Proposals (RFP) SECTION FOUR: SCOPE OF SERVICES In order to improve evacuation routes, encroaching, invasive, non-native, and fire -hazardous vegetation and accumulated dead biomass will be reduced along roads in priority hillside neighborhoods throughout the City of San Rafael. Work will focus on roadside vegetation up to 15 feet above the road surface and up to 10 feet from road edges. Clearing vegetation and lower -level tree limbs from these areas will improve emergency responder access, reduce the amount of heat that evacuating residents might be exposed to during a fire, improve visibility, and expand usable width of roadways on narrow hillside streets. No healthy, mature trees will be removed under this project. Trimmings and removed vegetation will be disposed of through chipping or composting at regional facilities. Work will be performed at appropriate times of the year in order to reduce the potential for biological impacts (e.g., tree trimming work will mainly occur between September and mid-February, unless a recent nesting bird survey conducted by a qualified expert prior to the work confirms no active nests will be disturbed; grass mowing during summer months). Specific proiect treatments are as follows: Manual and mechanical hand tools will be used for vegetation trimming and removal. Crews will remove vegetation from the ground and will utilize bucket trucks to achieve the necessary vertical clearance. Bucket trucks, chainsaws, pole saws, chippers, and other tree removal and pruning equipment will be used for vegetation clearance. 1. Clear or trim ladder fuels, or vegetation that can easily carry fire from one plant to another, within the documented right-of-way area. 2. Remove all vegetation 8 inches in diameter or smaller within or hanging over the city right of way. 3. Trim or remove diseased and hazardous trees within or hanging over the city right of way, regardless of diameter, as determined by a Registered Professional Forester or Certified Arborist. 4. All vegetation that is cut or touched shall be removed by the contractor. All debris will be removed from the site and disposed of at either the Green Waste Recycle Yard or other green waste facilities. 5. Adequately account for aesthetics of the work, including clean cuts and low cut stumps. 6. Where feasible, invasive French and Scotch Broom will be pulled and care given to reduce spreading seed. When erosion control is a concern, it may be cut. 7. Adhere to the highest traffic control safety standards and obtain traffic control plan approval from the City of San Rafael Roads Engineer before any road closures, diversions or other traffic hindrances.

If operations occur during fire season, as declared by CAL FIRE, a sealed fire toolbox shall be located within the operating area at a point accessible in the event of a fire. This fire toolbox shall contain: one backpack pump -type fire extinguisher filled with water, two axes, two McLeod fire tools, and a sufficient number of shovels so that each employee at the operation can be equipped to fight fire. One or more serviceable chainsaws with a cutting bar 20 inches in length, or longer, shall be immediately available within the operating area. Each passenger vehicle used on the operation shall be equipped with one shovel and one axe. Waathar- Inclement weather may delay work being completed as scheduled. Any days in which weather prohibits the safe operation of the project shall be agreed upon by the Contractor and the Project Coordinator and relayed to the City.

The authorized representative shall have full authority to direct the work. The Contractor shall provide the City one (1) week's written notice of any change to its authorized representative. Page 5 of 17 Roadside Clearance along City Maintained Roads Request for Proposals (RFP) SECTION FIVE: MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS The successful proposer shall be able to provide the following minimum qualifications: All Respondents must be duly registered and licensed with either a C61 -D49 or C27 -D49 license in the State of California. Tree Trimming and Pruning Standards: Trimming and pruning operations shall meet the most current editions of the following benchmark standards: • American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A300 Pruning Standards • ANSI Z133.1 Safety Standards • ISA Best Management Practices: Tree Pruning To ensure that pruning is appropriate for the species and tree/site conditions, it is important to have a clear understanding of the specific needs of the tree and the objectives for pruning. Pruning objectives include the following: • Provide clearance for pedestrians, vehicles, structures and low voltage utilities • Improve safety and security for residents and visitors Standard 1: All pruning cuts shall conform to ANSI A300 standards (Part 1: Pruning). Do not make flush cuts or leave branch stubs. Cuts shall be made outside the branch collar in a manner that promotes callous growth to cover wounds. Standard 2: Not more than 25% of the crown shall be removed within an annual growing season. The percentage of foliage removed shall be adjusted according to age, health, and species considerations. Standard 3: Pruning equipment shall be sharp and sized appropriately for the pruning cut. Chainsaws shall not be used to remove branches 2" or less in diameter. Avoid the use of any pruning and climbing equipment that may cause damage to bark tissue. Spikes (climbing spurs) shall not be used for climbing trees unless the tree is being removed. Pruning tools shall be treated with a disinfectant (such as Lysol) when pruning trees infected with a pathogen that may be transmitted (on tools) from one tree to another of the same species, such as oaks and bays. Disinfectants shall be used before and after pruning individual trees. Standard 4: Heading cuts shall not be used when pruning mature trees, except in very limited cases. Whenever possible, use reduction cuts to reduce height and branch removal cuts (thinning cuts) to reduce branch end weights. When reduction and branch removal cuts are not possible (such as when interior lateral branches are not present) and tree hazard potential is high, then heading cuts may be needed, but their use shall be minimized. Standard 5: Wildlife Protection: Prior to the commencement of any work near any tree, each tree shall be visually surveyed, from all sides, for the sole purpose of detecting the presence of bird nests or wildlife of any type.
