Comprehensive Plan Consulting Services

The City of Dover, New Hampshire, is seeking comprehensive plan consulting services to address the systematic removal and replacement of ash trees within its jurisdiction. The agency needs to mitigate the loss of these trees by establishing a phased removal schedule and introducing a diverse selection of new tree species across various locations. This initiative aims to promote long-term canopy resilience and establish sustainable management practices for the municipal forest. The scope of work requires a collaborative effort among an arborist, a landscape architect, and city staff to draft a comprehensive tree replacement plan. The arborist must assess local environmental conditions, recommend resilient species, outline best management practices, and establish a timeline for planting and replacement. The landscape architect will collaborate with the City, the Conservation Commission, and the Forestry Management work group to design sites and plan long-term management specifically for the downtown area. Eligible participants must be United States organizations, as the agency limits participation to onshore entities. The agency allows the selected contractor to perform all work offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally, with the option to transmit files via email or through an online portal. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost of the project. Bidders must submit any questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 8, 2026.
