II. Inventory of trees—Basic Services
1. Inventory of Trees by GIS location in the Right-of-way.
The consultant team will conduct an inventory of all trees and vacant planting locations in the
right-of-way within current City limits. This inventory will provide updated tree measurements
and tree evaluations for the digitized layer of the City's GIS system for the database containing
the information linked to each tree. Consultant field crews will use Davey Resource Group's
proprietary software 'Rover'on tablets to collect tree and location data.A unique new ID
number will be assigned to each new tree added or each new planting spot added. It is
understood that the inventory may occur during winter season,and the condition assessment
may not include health qualities that are observable only when the trees are in leaf. Corrections
for species identification will be made when they are encountered. COR maps will be used to
identify property boundaries to assist with the identification of City Right-of-way and private
property boundaries.Where appropriate,when substantial greenways are encountered within
the right-of-way(otherwise known as unimproved ROW)that comprise unmanaged natural
areas, 1/10th acre sample-plots will be used. Greenways 20'feet beyond the roadway edge
requiring this sampling method will be done as an additional service and negotiated separately
to measure species,aggregated tree DBH and quantities.Any tree equal to or greater than 2"
inches DBH in diameter within 20 feet of the road or trail edge shall be fully inventoried.The
Cedar River Trail Corridor will be treated in a similar fashion to unimproved ROW with more
detailed inventory data recorded for trees within 20'feet of the trail edge
List of attributes to be collected and linked to GIS location include:
Common Name Genus Species Trunk Diameter
Trunk Type Canopy Shape Wires Present Condition Rating
Location Rating Notes Treatment Type Primary Defect
Site Status Site Designation Site Condition Growth Space
Growth Space Size Grate
I4
Deliverables:
➢ Up to a maximum of 10,000 tree and/or vacant site records
➢ Updated GIS layer for Tree locations Linked database
➢ Brief documentation for GIS layer(metadata)
➢ Preliminary Tree Inventory Report and Summary
2. Developed and Partially Developed Parks
Consultant team will review GPS locations for all trees that are within City of Renton Parks to
accompany the GIS database recording of the inventory.Trees that are less than 2.0" inches
DBH in diameter will not be inventoried. New trees identified will be added to the database,a
unique ID will be assigned and all relevant data for the tree will be entered for that location.
Where parks have substantial undeveloped natural areas the 1/10th acre random-plot sampling
method fee to quantify species, aggregated tree DBH,and tree quantities will be used,but
undertaken as a separate additional service.The City of Renton GIS Team will designate these
natural areas within polygons as part of the data layers. Managed areas in parks listed below
shall be fully inventoried.
List of attributes to be collected and linked to GIS locations include:

II. Inventory of Trees—Additional Services
1. Natural Areas,Open Space,Greenway,and Habitat Areas Inventory
Consultant team,through the use of aerial photographs and existing City of Renton GIS layers,
will analyze,for planning data collection, maps that illustrate all existing regulated natural areas
in the City. Consultant will inventory each area listed below using a 1/10`h acre random-plot
sample to obtain an average of tree species,tree DBH and tree quantities. Plot intensity shall be
based on site acreage Frequency of random plots will be determined to some extent by access
in the case of wetland-dominated watersheds, but generally at a rate of slightly less than 1 every
11 acres. Major trail corridors shall be treated in a similar fashion to unimproved ROW with
more detailed inventory data recorded for trees within 20'feet of the trail edge. This will be
defined in separate negotiations for additional services.
Natural areas and associated acreage to be included are:
Black River Riparian Forest(U) 93.3 Cedar River Natural Area (U) 264.2
Cleveland/Richardson Pty(D,U) 23.8 Honey Creek Greenway(U) 43.0

Panther Creek Wetlands(U)** 69.0 Renton Wetlands(U)** 139.2
Springbrook Watershed (U)** 52.2 Tiffany/Cascade Connection (U) 4.8
P=Partial inventory currently D=Developed park U=Undeveloped park **Water Utility jurisdiction
Developed Parks with unmaintained natural areas to be included are:
Gene Coulon Park(P, D)*** Heritage Park(P, D) Maplewood Golf Course (D, U)
Riverview Park(P, D) Ron Regis Park(P, D, U) Windsor Hills Park(P, D)
P=Partial inventory currently D=Developed park U=Undeveloped park **Water Utility jurisdiction
Deliverables:
➢ Tree inventory data for trees in up to 71 plots(1/10`h Acre each plot)
➢ Updated GIS layer of regulated Natural Areas in the City
➢ Linked database
➢ Brief documentation for GIS layer(metadata)
➢ Tree Inventory and Assessment Summary Report with iTree ecosystem benefits calculation and
aggregated tree totals

IV. Technical Considerations
• A sampling system for quality assurance will be defined by DRG and City Staff at the
outset of the project and will be repeated at regular intervals during the project
• The City of Renton will consult with DRG and have the City of Renton GIS Team assist
in the provision of random point locations for ell plot sampling as a GIS layer.
• Data collection sequencing will be done by community planning area
• A 'Lock-out'or the equivalent is anticipated for tree inventory data in the active
collection planning area during inventory update. Tree maintenance work done in
those areas concurrently will be documented for later data entry through the work
order management system by City staff
• The City GIS Team will send DRG a list of active Cityworks work orders pending or will
have the management system populate those tree attributes accordingly so the data
collectors are aware of the nature of the work
• Data handover logistics will be defined by City of Renton GIS Team
• The Cedar River planning area has been chosen as the data collection starting point
as it encompasses a variety of landscape and park types and should give early
indicators of challenges and time requirements
• If Davey Resource Group does not have up to date parcel&property lines in their GIS
layers these will be provided
• Renton GIS will remove non-criteria collection trees from the data package including
trees on:private property,fire stations, Maplewood Golf Course and natural areas

V. Cost Structure
1. Basic Services
The table below represents costs based on per tree pricing for tree inventory services for trees
in the City of Renton right-of-way and on developed public property, per the scope of services
detailed in Section II of this document.Tree numbers are estimated but the contract services for
these City locations are not to exceed the total dollar value noted.Variations in actual tree
numbers will require collection adjustments as the project proceeds—locations will be added or
done as part of the separately negotiated Additional Services if needed. Priority will be given to
collecting information on existing trees as opposed to available planting spaces (definition will
be added in collection manual).
BASIC INVENTORY SERVICES Numbers Costs
City ROW trees(Streets) 10,000(est.) $35,900.00
Developed Public Property trees(Parks) 17,000(est.) $61,030.00
Preliminary Inventory Summary Report (1) $2,550.00
Basic Project totals Total trees:27,000 Total Basic Cost:$99,480.00
2. Additional Services
The table below represents costs based on random plot sampling techniques to inventory trees
in natural areas within the City of Renton and previously un-inventoried properties. Plot density
or frequency is estimated and these additional services would be subject to a separate specific
scope of work, budget and contract.This will be developed separately if these optional tasks are
chosen later.Variations in actual tree numbers or sample plot density will require collection
adjustments as the project proceeds.
ADDITIONAL INVENTORY SERVICES Numbers Costs
Additional new trees to add to inventory 4,400(est.) $15,796.00
Plot-Sampling in Natural Areas 71 Plots(est.) $6,200.00
Final Tree Inventory Summary Report 15 Copies $5,600.00
Total Additional Cost:$27,596.00
