CONSUNJI, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY E t DATE: OCTOBER 13, 2020 SUBJECT: APPROVE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH DUDEK FOR PREPARATION OF STREET TREE MASTER PLAN RECOMMENDATION That the City Council: 1. Approve a professional services agreement with Dudek in the amount of $26,333 for preparation of Street Tree Master Plan; 2. Authorize Mayor to execute agreement with Dudek in a form approved by the City Attorney; and 3. Authorize City Manager to execute any and all amendments to the agreement as deemed necessary for preparation of the Street Tree Master Plan in a form approved by the City Attorney. I _,T_1 TH "'Ifel :lei I I Z I The City of Downey Public Works Department manages and maintains over 20,000 urban trees. These include trees located on street parkways, parks, medians and various City -owned facilities. The City has a varied tree canopy of several species that range in age from less than a year to well over 60 years. Each tree requires a different level of maintenance depending on size, maturity and species. Moreover, street parkway trees generally require replacement every 30 to 40 years. Trees may have to be replaced due to lack of care or maintenance, exposed to diseases or infestations, pose hazardous conditions or located in restricted or confined growing spaces such as narrow parkways or small tree wells. Currently, the City does not have a street tree master plan to address tree selection guidelines for urban areas and standard urban tree care. Such a plan would benefit the City by increasing the urban forest canopy cover, helping reduce long-term maintenance costs, promoting sustainability and providing a standard community tree palette. On November 13, 2018, the City Council approved an agreement with Dudek in the amount of $101,655 for the preparation of the City's Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP). The UFMP has been completed and included the following elements: • Reviewed and updated inventory of existing trees species • Developed a list of recommended street trees for planting throughout the City • Developed strategic plan establishing guiding principles and goals • Reviewed City's tree ordinance and/or policies • Reviewed and updated City's tree maintenance standards • Reviewed and updated City's tree planting standards and spacing guidelines • Identified tree care and maintenance best management practices, established regular prunill cycles and pest control and community involvement opportunities I Approve Professional Services Agreement with Dudek for Preparation of Street Tree Master Plan October 13, 2020 Page 2 Built consensus and vision from community stakeholders regarding a desirable, achievable and sustainable future urban • The UFMP is currently under final review by City staff and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CALFIRE). During the review process, it was determined that a Street Tree Master Plan would be a beneficial component of the UFMP. The Street Tree Master Plan will review the City's existing tree species inventory and based on the list of recommended street trees, recommend appropriate urban tree palettes for residential zones, commercial zones, manufacturing zones, open space areas and streetscape areas. NP! • Tree trimming cycles can be scheduled based on tree species instead of rotating grids or areas. This will be better for the trees' health and reduce tree maintenance costs. • The Street Tree Master Plan will provide guidelines for a more consistent and uniform neighborhood tree canopy cover and appearance. This will be visually more aesthetically pleasing. • Varying tree species per street and neighborhood will minimize or mitigate the spread of tree -related diseases or infestations. • Increases efficiency of tree selection and planting since tree species are pre -selected. • Establishes tree planting standards in development and redevelopment projects. The final product will be a City map showing existing tree species and recommended tree species for each street and a table or list of recommended tree species by street. Dudek initially submitted a proposal in the amount • $33,379 to complete the Street Tree Master Plan. City staff met with Dudek to refine the scope of services and was able to negotiate the fee r• to $26,333. If approved, Dudek can complete the Street Tree Master Plan • the • • November 2020. Once the Street Tree Master Plan is completed, both the Final UFMP and Street Tree Master Plan will be presented to the City Council for adoption.

To accomplish this, we will first acquire several data sets to best understand the planting opportunities and spacing restrictions that exist throughout the City. We will begin to determine where trees can be planted by analyzing available City data on vacant tree planting sites and where trees are currently planted. These locations will be approximated using a third -party geocoding service to convert the provided address locations into geographic coordinates. The resulting coordinates will only be accurate to the routing location of the address provided, but will provide enough accuracy for the assessment deliverables. This data will be further interpreted by Dudek GIS specialists by quantifying how many trees can be planted on a specific street, block, and within a defined neighborhood boundary. The second aspect o[assessing tree planting opportunities isbmunderstand the spacing limitations inthe ground and air that restrict where trees can be planted, and what species are appropriate for the locations. Spacing restrictions include parkway and median sizes, utility lines, intersections, street lights, and other components of City infrastructure. The presence or absence of conflicting infrastructure will impact whether atree can beplanted in a particular location, and the size of the tree that can be planted in the location. Dudek urban foresters will use this information to further refine where trees can be planted, and to help determine appropriate tree species to plant oneach street, parhway, and median location. visual representations of planting opportunities across the City. Collectively this information will provide the framework to further construct a Street Tree Master Plan for the City. City of Downey.
