V^*4UOkW COMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM copyright C 2002 -18- Our Experience in Customer Satisfaction West Coast Arborists understands the challenge that many cities face to reduce the cost of tree maintenance services, while increasing the level of performance. Utilizing our services as a valuable, cost-effective re- source, cities are able to provide better services to their community. These contracts cover a range of services from providing emergency response to maintaining the City's entire urban forest. Below is a brief summary of work performed in these cities: City of Arcadia Since January 1997 WCA completed a citywide street tree inventory using our tree inventory software program. As part of this program, a Certified Arborist from West Coast Arborists walked each City Street and col- lected data necessary to complete the inventory. Collected data includes the size of the tree, location, utility information and other prudent information as requested by the City. This inventory has helped with the management of the City's Urban Forest. We are able to prune trees more efficiently, while the City is able to maintain accurate work records and monitor predictable tree trimming schedules and guarantee the residents and businesses top quality tree care.

Your company has always shown exemplary service and professionalism while performing their duties. The dedication your staff shows in providing service and expertise to the County is outstanding. Another area where WCA has assisted the County is in the method of your tree trimming. As you know, much of the County is trimmed by grids as a cost-effective approach. Because of WCA's advice and input, the trees are now being trimmed on a maintenance program rather than a generic trim. This has been extremely appreciated by the County's private residents, and it has also reduced the amount of down limbs that require emergency attention thus saving future costs. It is with my pleasure that we will continue to contract with WCA for another five years. I would like to thank the Area Manager for his dedication to our contract, as well as the many other staff and crew that make this partnership possible". - Peter Dalquist, Maintenance Engineering City of Riverside - Public Utilities "Starting July 1, 1997, the City of Riverside Public Utilities Electric Department through the City Park and Recreation Department has contracted with West Coast Arborists, Inc. to do our Line Clearance Program.

Systematic tree maintenance programs reduce the need for "emergency" or "service request" pruning, help prevent liability problems (such as dead or weak branches), reduce tree mortality and improve the urban forest's health and real value over the long term. A systematic tree maintenance program is composed of pre -designed trimming grids which are pruned in their entirety on a set schedule. By trimming every tree on the street regardless of size, every resident in that community feels that they have received a service for their tax dollars. At the same time, the safety and welfare of the community will be enhanced. The following are a few of the benefits of a grid trimming system: Scheduling. A long term grid schedule is set at the beginning of the project appropriating efficient use of personnel and resources. The trimming cycle should be scheduled throughout the entire fiscal year. Improved Public Relations: Citizens can be informed in advance when their trees are scheduled for service. This is a pro -active approach to manage the community's urban forest. Equal Service: Every citizen receives service whether requested or not. Maintenance is not dependent on a formal request or individual. Preventive Maintenance: All city trees receive routine maintenance and inspections. Problems are corrected before they reach crisis levels. Improved Health: Area pruning improves the health of the tree population through routinely pruning weakened or pest -infested branches and developing sound and vigorously growing crowns. Maintain a Capital Asset. The urban forest is one of the Cities most valuable and overlooked capital assets. By investing in the systematic maintenance concept, the City is maintaining its overall and real financial value to the community. Reduced Liability. Due to the efficiency of grid trimming, all trees are serviced in a timely manner, reducing liability exposure. Efficient Record Keeping. The foreman is able to update tree characteristic information on every tree in the City over the trim cycle period. Records are maintained for current status and returned to the City for their files. Below is a sample trim cycle schedule: COMPLETE URBAN Fr,uRC-rov AAAMAC-PKAPM-r 1PDllr21DA%A coovrioht02002 -28- SERVICES. TO BE PERFORMED Pruning Operations The results of using this pro -active tree maintenance strategy are long term reduced costs, increased public safety, content residents, and an increased value of an essential City asset. Prior to commencement of work, WCA will post door hangers informing residents of the work that is to be performed. These notices will be delivered within the time speci- fied by the City. Tree pruning will be done as to: 1) prevent branch and foliage interfer- ence with safety requirements, 2) remove all broken or loose branches, 3) clear trees of sprout and sucker growth, 4) obtain a balanced appear- ance when viewed from the opposite side of the street immediately op- posite the tree, 5) remove and control tree limbs as to cause no damage to other parts of the tree, or to other plants or property. In addition to providing complete pruning operations, our highly trained and qualified staff will also perform clearance -pruning services, which consist of removing branches to provide a fourteen (14) foot clearance from the top of the curb when practical. This operation also involves clearing limbs or branches away from electrical wires, lights, buildings, and/or traffic signal devices. Also, we will remove all trunk sprouts and suckers and clear limbs to provide for pederian travel. All work will be performed in accordance with I.S.A. Standards, ANSI A300 Standards and City specifications. The debris will be removed from the job site and taken to a designated greenwaste facility for recycling. All resulting debris will be removed from the job site daily and properly disposed of at the end of each workday. We will clean all job sites when work is completed, including the raking of leaves, twigs, etc. from the lawn and parkway and the sweeping of streets. Clearance Pruning In addition to providing complete pruning operations, our highly trained staff will also perform clearance pruning services, which consist of removing branches to provide a fourteen (14) foot clearance from the top of the curb when practical. This operation also involves clearing limbs or branches away from wires, lights, building, and/or traffic signal devices. Also, we will remove all trunk sprouts and suckers and clear limbs to provide for pedes- trian travel. All work will be performed in accordance with I.S.A. Standards, ANSA A300 Standards and City specifications. Small Tree Care WCA supports the belief of the ISA that proper pruning and care during the early stages of the tree's life will save money in the future, and create a safer, more beautiful, healthy, and easy -to -maintain tree. We believe that tree care that is performed early will affect its shape, strength and life span. Our specialized Small Tree Care Team is trained to perform selective thinning, removal of dead, interfering, split and broken limbs, weed abatement, lawn raking, and watering. As the trees we plant ma- ture it is apparent that the trees, and adjacent parkways, have definite maintenance needs. Therefore, WCA will work with the City staff to establish a Small Tree Care Maintenance Action Plan to address the tree and parkway maintenance requirements on an individual basis. Each tree is inspected to determine specific needs and maintenance activities are then performed accordingly. The guidelines are as follows: - Check parkway grade - Check size & tree well condition - Weed tree well as needed - Prune tree as necessary - Re -stake & re -tie as needed C OMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM copyright ® 2002 -29- Removal Operations Removals will be completed per monthly lists compiled and submitted by the City or on an "as needed" basis. With a mini- mum of forty-eight hours advance notice, WCA will inform Un- derground Service Alert (USA) of the location of work for the purpose of identifying any and all utility lines. The removal process will include the use of a crane, when nec- essary, capable of lowering limb(s) delicately onto the ground to prevent any hardscape damage. We propose to utilize a skip loader to remove large trunks and debris from the job site. The debris will be placed in large containers and be removed from the job site and taken to a designated greenwaste facility. Im- mediately following the removal, the stump will be grounded down in accordance with I.S.A. Standards, ANSI A300 Standards and City specifications. Job sites will be cleaned daily, including raking of leaves and removal of all debris. Upon City notice, we will then re -plant and restore the existing landscape in accor- dance with the City's specifications. Planting Operations We can replace trees that have been removed and plant new trees in accordance with the City's specification. Trees will be planted by lists compiled and submitted monthly by the City, or on an "as -needed" basis. We are prepared financially and logisti- cally to acquire and purchase selected tree species for tree plant- ing in the City. We have the capability to send notices via U.S. Mail informing residents of the work that is to be performed. These notices will include a photo of the new tree that is to be planted along with a description of its characteristics. During this time, and at a mini- mum of forty-eight hours in advance, we will inform Underground Service Alert (USA) of the location of work for the purpose of iden- tifying any and all utility lines. Once the City approves the trees to be planted, we will plant in accordance with I.S.A. Standards, ANSI A300 Standards and City specifications. A well trained planting team will perform the soil preparation, installation of the tree, small tree maintenance in- cluding watering, and surrounding landscape restoration and re- pair. Ability to Purchase Trees Cities expect the highest quality of new trees, proven varieties and an organization with tree planting knowledge and skills. By meet- ing these expectations, WCA is able to contribute to the success of reforestation projects within communities. In order to complete successful tree planting programs, cities can rely on WCA to locate, acquire and purchase different tree species. Being familiar with over fifty nurseries in Southern California, allows WCA to obtain the best tree available from a broad and plentiful stock. Once trees are purchased, and based on the size of the project, they are delivered to our facility in Anaheim or at a staging area within the City. It is through this process that we have planted an average of 25,000 trees for all of our customers each year during the past three years.

Department and Fire Department. We will be prepared for emergency calls on a 7-day, 24-hour basis. Our emergency response team will do what is necessary to render the hazardous tree or tree -related condition safe until the following workday. Should the emergency call out occur during normal busi- ness hours, one of our teams will respond to the scene and per- form the necessary work. There are many services that we provide to agencies that don't necessarily involve tree maintenance. Be- cause of our commitment to customer satisfaction and our vast amount of resources, which includes specialty equipment, and qualified personnel, WCA responds to various miscellaneous requests. Some examples of these services are flag hanging, holiday light installation, changing ballpark lights, and.mis- cellaneous use of our 100-foot aerial towers and cranes. These types of services are performed on a crew rental basis, which consists of any number of men with necessary equipment. Special tree trim- ming requests are also performed under an hourly crew rental. Watering Tree watering will be performed by a full-time, WCAteam mem- ber on various routes, includ- ing landscape medians, and young trees when requested by the City. This team will also be respon- sible for reporting special care needs to the Small Tree Care Team. This could include re- porting weeds, soil that has settled, and/or staking & tying needs.

Not only are we producing an increasing amount of solid waste each year, but we are running out of places to put it. Because of the concern about water and air pollution associated with landfills, the opportunities to develop additional disposal capacity are limited. To address these issues, the Governor of California signed into law on September 29, 1989, Assembly Bill 939 (AB 939). The law fundamentally restructured the state's approach to solid waste management. AB 939 established an integrated waste management hierarchy in the following order of importance: • Source reduction • Recycling and composting • Environmentally safe transformation and land disposal of solid wastes AB 939 requires that each California county and incorporated city prepare a Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (SRRE) report which shows how they will meet solid waste diversion goals of 50 percent by the year 2000 and beyond. West Coast Arborists, Inc., offers a multitude of waste diversion opportunities to cities including mulch, compost, firewood and logs to lumber. In an effort to provide cities with valued informa- tion pursuant to AB 939 requirements, we generate a monthly Green Waste Recycling report at no additional cost. COMPLETE URRwty Fr-%vucTvv MAMAt-ZVXAArrT Pvrlr21DAkA comriaht 0 2002 -35- Green Waste Diversion Program WCA's commitment to be a socially responsible corporate partner to our customers and commu- nities is exemplified in our Greenwaste Diversion Program. With the steadily -increasing concern for the ecological health of our communities, West Coast Arborists, Inc. has embarked on a landfill diversion process where all greenwaste is taken to recycling facilities where it is used in the pro- duction of soil amendments. We are committed to taking all recyclable materials removed from the trees trimmed for the duration of this project to a recycling center for processing. Such recyclable material will be referred to as "greenwaste". Verification of amounts recycled will be obtained by West Coast Arborists, Inc. Receipts will be provided to the City for the purpose of meeting the goals of the State for reducing landfill usage. TREE PRODUCTS: M U L C H Mulch is made from coarse ground branches and leaves. It should be spread on the ground at a rate of six to twelve inches for best effect. Fresh mulch will deplete nitrogen from the surface of the soil which will reduce unwanted weeds. Once the mulch has decayed, it returns nitrogen which helps build the quality of soil for plants. A large amount of tree debris is processed by West Coast Arborists and used in large scale mulching projects for establishing native plants in open space areas. COMPOST Compost is made from fine ground branches, leaves or other organic material. When mixed with oxygen and water, the organic material will decay or "compost." A finished compost is excellent for turning into the top layer of soil and will add nitrogen and increase the water holding capacity of soil. You can make compost at home in a pile in your yard or in a bin that you make or purchase. Large scale composting is done at regional recycling facilities. FIREWOOD Firewood is traditionally the most common use of large branches and logs. Firewood is used to heat homes during winter months. West Coast Arborists takes logs to a yard in Irvine where a firewood re- tailer splits and resells the firewood to local residents. LOGS TO LUMBER Currently West Coast Arborists is looking for new and better ideas for the use of tree logs. An old idea -with a new approach is convert- ing city trees into usable lumber. WCA worked on a twelve month trial program with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Pro- tection to create an environmentally sound and socially responsible alternative to importing lumber from other areas, reducing our de- mand on trees from natural forests. WCA has demonstrated its wood, hand -crafting ability by offering sturdy and beautiful wooden benches for city use, exemplifying our commitment to the environment.

In ad- dition to the pruning, there were 391 dead trees and 14 stumps re- moved. There were also over 500 trees planted and 155 hours of crew rental on "special assign- ments" provided to the City. COMMUNITY FEEDBACK The City has received numerous letters from residents commending WCA and the City Council on an outstanding job performance. 'hambra resident, Mark Binz writes, "Too often in the hectic schedule that people have, good work is overlooked. 1 just wanted to say that 1 have lived on Marguerita for 7 years and I think the crew that has done the trim- ming this year is very good. They took care when trimming and did an extra careful job cleaning up the mess that was made". 1,01 Y :Iffw - : rr-a . aa Prarp :77 .

(800) 521-3714 01999 ANNUAL TREE MAINTENANCE HIGHLIGHT REPORT MASTER STREET TREE PLAN WCA and the Public Works Depart- ment developed a Master Street Tree Plan to manage future growth of one of the City's most valued assets: street trees. The plan builds upon the legacy of past work, and addresses issues re- lating to the health and welfare of the City's trees that will benefit future gen- erations. A component of the Master Street Tree Plan is the tree site inven- tory. While compiling the units used in the Planting Plan, the Data Collec- tor collects an entire inventory of the a City's tree population. In addition, va- cant sites are also collected based on the spacing criteria specifications set forth by the City. STREET TREE PLANTING PLAN West Coast Arborists, Inc. have de- veloped a complex, yet user-friendly, Street Tree Planting Program. The program entails incorporating the ex- isting species and recommending new ones based on conditions exclusive to that site. The City was broken down into units based on similar planting conditions such as, parkway size, overhead utilities and residen- tial and arterial areas. Three species recommendations were given to the City for selection. The selection is the designated species for that unit. An integral part of this program is the community outreach. Residents are notified via a letter accompanying a colored photocopy of the designated species. Residents are given care in- structions. For example, avoid weed wackers injuring the bark of new trees. We have found that involving the community in the street tree re- forestation program has been a tre- mendous success.

LOGS TO LUMBER An old idea with a new approach is converting City trees into usable lum- ber. In an ongoing effort to reduce waste from the urban forest, West Coast Arborists is currently distribut- ing valuable urban lumber to cities all over California. The program was initiated as a six month pilot program, working in conjunction with the Cali- fornia Department of Forestry and a Fiscal 1999 - 2000 Fire Protection. After utilizing CDF's saw mill and with the increasing inter- est in diverting greenwaste, we in- vested in a saw mill of our own. This program addresses concerns on land- fill diversion (AB939), air pollution re- strictions, global warming and increas- ing prices of wood resources. West Coast Arborists, Inc. has set out to make a difference throughout our communities.

West Coast Arborists, Inc. has implemented tech- nology across the organization and combined it with the full range of tree care services. As a result, technol- ogy has enabled us to reduce costs, increase services and provide municipalities with essential, decision - making information on past, present and future urban forest health and environmental issues. Our technologi- cal innovation has allowed us to plan, project, and implement prgograms that address the multi -faceted needs of the urban forest. We have achieved a significant advantage through effective management of information, including our experience in tree inventories, tree reports, maintenance recommendations, and software devel- opment. As we enter the next millennium the success of any urban forest management program will depend on the comprehensive and timely management of information. We have more than fifteen years experience in collecting tree inventories and developing inventory databases, including a powerful information management program that standardizes and enables dynamic management of the City's Urban Forest. In addition to provid- ing complete tree care, WCA assists cities with the development of tree inventories, tree master plans and tree management plans.

Drr.. ... cn inht•9nd9 -43- Completing the Tree Inventory Prior to conducting an inventory, WCA will schedule a pre -job meeting with City staff to identify the criteria for evaluating the City's Urban Forest as well as determine which tree inventory collection method will be pursued. We will also provide identification of dying and/or diseased trees and recommended planting sites. The success of any urban forest management program will depend on the management of information; such information allows the City to make significant decisions on tree related issues. Should the City's staff, Commissioners, and/or Council request further, in-depth reports on specific trees, we are staffed with qualified and Certified personnel to provide a thorough analysis. We can perform a complete tree inventory through one of three methods: - Tree Inventory Collected Prior to Commencement of Work - Tree inventory and Global Positioning System (GPS) Information Collected Prior to Work - Tree Inventory Collected as Work Progresses Prior to Commencement of Work The first option is to conduct an in- i ventory prior to performing any tree Y.,..,...-..,......,... maintenance. A professional Inven- tory Specialist, who is a certified arborist as recognized by the Western Chapter International Society of Arboriculture (WCISA), will walk each City street to collect tree site information and to assess the tree condition. The information will be provided to the City in a database for- mat, which can be downloaded into several current, com- puter software programs. Global Positioning System (GPS) The second option that is completed prior to the commence- ment of work is to collect the tree inventory using Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates. The tree inventory and GPS coordinates can be linked directly to a Geographi- cal Information System (GIS) program, such as ArcView, for geo-coding purposes. Using a handheld computer and a backpack GPS receiver, the inventory collector will iden- tify the trees by their global coordinates of longitude and _ latitude, within one meter. By collecting the data using the 4 GPS system, the City can overlay the tree data with GIS ` layers or other infrastructure assets. At the end of the project, the City will receive a complete listing of all sites inventoried, both in hard copy and on a computer diskette, which will enable connecting the inventory to the City's GIS program, along with various frequency reports generated from the data contained in the inventory. As Work Progresses The final option is to conduct an inventory as tree maintenance is performed. Through a grid trimming system, the Foreman will record the tree site data and submit the information for processing along with the bi-weekly billing. The completion of the inventory coincides with the trim cycle set forth by the City. Condition of City's Urban Forest The success of any urban forest management program will depend on the management of information; WCA believes this information will allow the City to make essential decisions on tree related issues. Should the City's staff, Commissioners, and/or Council request further, in-depth reports on specific trees, we are staffed with qualified Certified personnel to provide a thorough analysis. Prior to the commencement of work, we will provide a complete inventory of the City's Urban Forest. In addition to the tree inventory, we will provide identification of dying and/or diseased trees and recommended planting sites.

AX A rinMee9nng -45- INFORMATION MANAGEMENT m ArborAccess Computer Software WCA has developed a modern, complete, and comprehensive computer software program, called ArborAccess, with input from many California cities. This Microsoft-compatiable program was developed based on the needs of our customers. Since it is a sole -proprietary program, we have the capability to customize the program to our customers' specific needs. The user-friendly program allows customers to store, retrieve, update, delete and add tree records and work histories. ArborAccess also features customizable options that allow for additional infor- mation to be compiled within the database such as infrastructure assets or sidewalk damage. The information contained in ArborAccess can also be linked directly to a GIS. program, such as ArcView, for geo-coding purposes. By collecting the data using the GPS system, cities can consolidate tree data with other various GPS coded programs. The information management possibilities for data integration are endless for urban forestry management programs that use similar management methods and resources. Computer Software Specifications ArborAccess is a computer software program designed by the tree care professionals at West Coast Arborists. In conjunction with several California cities, WCA designed the program in a user-friendly environment to assist professionals in the management of the urban forest. The software organizes your tree inventory and provides an interface that is easy to use and understand. In addition to tree inventory management, ArborAccess can also be linked directly to a Geographical Information System (GIS) and can assist your agency in meeting newly enacted GASB34 requirements. By utilizing ArborAccess and incorporating tree maintenance, the tree inven- tory is automatically updated with each billing cycle. This process eliminates the hassle of dual inputting by the City and WCA. There are several features that can be generated to assist you with ordering and tracking work, resident requests, maintenance scheduling, and budget projections. In addition, ArborAccess provides an unlimited resource of information on your City's urban forest. Special features and operating system require- ments are as follows: • User -Friendly Operating Environment • Inventory - Collection & Management • Specialized Reports - Frequency - Work Summary - Species Information • Work History by Location • Scheduling of Maintenance • List Preparation & Printing • List Tracking • Export/Import Capability • GIS Mapping • Automatic Work History Update • Link to Street Tree Master Plan • Representative Species Photographs • Customizable COMPLF_TF. TTuRAM F(14AQTDV AXAVwJAr_cwwawr� Dnl1l A%A rmwrinht 0 2002 -47- Innovative Data Management DETAILED TREE SITE CHARACTERISTICS The state-of-the-art technology provides a valuable tool to ur- ban forestry professionals by displaying tree site specifics along with a representative photograph of the species type and a recommended maintenance field. By clicking on the HISTORY button the work history for that particular tree site appears. Information can be added, edited or deleted from this location as well. ArborAccess' built-in quality control features assist in data accuracy. As maintenance is performed, the work his- tory is automatically updated via diskette downloads that ac- company bi-weekly invoices. This process assists the City in elimination of dual -inputting and helps keep the tree inventory current. ACCURATE MAINTENANCE RECORDS Accurate maintenance records for each location can assist the City with liability claims. Providing a detailed history of the main- tenance performed at each location can display the effort the City puts forth in maintaining its urban forest. By linking the tree maintenance to the tree inventory it eliminates the task of hav- ing to go through the data entry process because the records are updated concurrently with each billing cycle. LINKS TO MASTER STREET TREE PLAN ArborAccess can be linked directly to the City's Master Street Tree Plan. The Master Plan should build upon the legacy of work that has been done in the past as well as create a con- cept that builds on the goals of the. City that can be imple- mented into the future. The three species shown have been recommended as replacement species to the existing trees should they happen to fail or to fill vacant sites. WORK TRACKING WITH LISTS List tracking is a successful tool in urban forestry management. By utilizing the tree inventory system to create lists, this en- sures that the data being uploaded into the system is accurate. The lists can be created and submitted by work type and once the maintenance is performed the tree inventory will be updated upon the completion of the billing cycle. With accurate tracking of maintenance, several types of reports can be generated to estimate future budgeting expenses and projected trim cycles.

Some report samples are: • Inventory Report • Job List Report • Sidewalk Damage Report • Summary Report • Work History Report • Recommended Maintenance Report • DBH Frequency Report • Height Frequency Report • Individual Tree Site Report • All Trees at an Address • All Trees on a Block • Species Frequency Report (shown artight) The Species Frequency Report can assist your agency in identifying the tree population within the urban forest. This type of information is valuable in the event of an insect infestation, deadly disease, or even estimating future maintenance costs. In addition, an analysis can be performed to evaluate the history of the performance of a particular species within your City. Sample Inventory Spedes Frequency Report As a. 91IMM ,N ,,.

The inventory methodology used by WCA allows the lists to be printed by mailing address or by on address. The differ- ence between these addresses is that the trees may belong to a certain mailing address, but in the case of block trimming, it may fall on another street which we call "On Address". Dif- ferentiating these addresses assists in man- aging the street tree inventory and mainte- nance scheduling. This option also allows WCA or the City to update the list as work is completed. In addition, modifications to the actual tree may be noted and updated when the hard copy is returned. This procedure is one of the most crucial tasks in keeping the tree inventory updated and current. This pro- cess is one of the many things that sets WCA apart from other tree care providers. Not only do we provide outstanding tree care, we as- sist your agency in maintaining the tree inven- tory database at no additional cost. COMPLETE [IRRAM Fnpraz-rov ?%XAMer:uwaVM-r coovriaht•2002 -49- Street Tree Master Plan The trees in each City are a valuable aesthetical and economical resource. The goal of the Street Tree Master Plan is to develop an effective tree care program consistent with the City's objectives and to provide options to minimize costs. These are intended to protect the value of existing trees and provide a method of enhancement for the future. Preserva- tion of urban trees is improved with the assistance of modem data management. Accurate analysis of the present tree population permits forecasting for future maintenance activities. This element of the project considers the intent for the community development, the physical condition of the forest, and the existing tree site environment. Survey results and discussion in this report focus on physical and environmental conditions with additional maintenance considerations. WCA's custom method of collecting tree data results in a wealth of information. In your City, as in most communities, there is no shortage of special considerations for applying collected data to recommendations. The fundamental basis for tree management in your City is the preservation of the urban forest and maintaining the desired character of the community. The Master Plan also entails incorporating the existing species and recommending new ones based on the conditions exclusive to that site. This is beneficial for future development, tree planting opportunities and tree grant requirements.

NN A • C A L I F O R N I A City of Brea Resident 1234 BREA BL BREA, CA 92821 RE: STREET TREE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM Dear Resident: The City of Brea is initiating a street tree planting campaign to reforest areas throughout the City by planting/replanting trees in public parkways. The City recently conducted an inventory of existing parkway trees and developed a comprehensive Street Tree Master Plan. During the inventory process, we noted a vacancy in the parkway in front of your home and plans are currently underway to plant a tree in this location. The selected tree species designated for you block is an AMERICAN S WEETGUpi (see attached photograph/illustration). This selection was made based upon the Street Tree piaster Plan and the performance and history of the tree within the City. It was also based on characteristics specific to that tree such as growing space, root structure and general resistance to climate, insects and disease. We believe the urban forest is an important part of a city. Trees beautify, increase property values and lower air temperature. We trust you will be pleased with your new tree. The City will be responsible for all maintenance needs of the tree including trimming, treatment of pests and diseases, and repairing damage to public sidewalk, curb and gutter. We only ask that you take the responsibility to water your tree and trim any basal or "sucker" growth that can be reached from the ground. Upon planting, you will receive instructions explaining proper watering/care procedures for your new tree. If for some reason you do not want a tree planted in the parkway in front of your home, please complete and return the enclosed postcard by August 1, 1998. Thank you for your time and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please call Eric Johnson, Parks Supervisor at (714) 990-7694.

Please be advised that with the planting of this tree, our Christmases in Fontana will be that much more festive and bright. In December the new tree will be decorated along with the existing tree. After the new Deodar has been pruned, shaped, groomed and has grown for several years, we will no longer decorate the old tree and the new Deodar will become our City Christmas Tree and will be lit at our annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremonies. Again, thank you for your kind donation." - Ken Jeske, Public Services Director, City of Fontana "I wish to thank you for your generous Ar- bor Day contribution to the City of Fresno and our community. Your men were up to the challenge of transplanting four 12 to 15 foot trees, which would have otherwise been lost to highway construction. Now these trees beautifully grace the front of our city's new Boys and Girls Clubs of Fresno County. Special thanks goes to your Field Operations Manager and Area Manager who devoted much of their time and effort in making this planting a suc- cess. The Parks Division, along with Tree Fresno and the Boys and Girls Clubs, thank you and your staff for your contribu- tion to our community." - Ronald Primavera, Director of Public Works, City of Fresno "On behalf of the City of Placentia and Recreation and Human Services Department, we would like to extend our sincere thanks for your generous donation of a cedar pine tree for our annual Tree Lighting Ceremony held on December 14th. Your willingness to take time out of your busy schedule to search "high and low" to find an appropriate tree was greatly appreciated.

Complaints and Damage Resolution Successful partnerships with municipalities begin with the community. We believe in handling concerns in a timely manner to the best of our ability. West Coast Arborists, Inc. provides an extensive in-house training curriculum, developed by the company, for all employees to broaden their knowledge of customer relations. Our line of work calls for us to be in direct contact with local residents, business owners and various commu- nity groups. When communicating with a customer, common courtesy will be displayed at all times and under all circumstances. We must also try to understand the full impact of the customer's dissatisfaction prior to resolving the matter. As we work with or near the public, WCA is mindful that we will most likely by the first person the public contacts. The best approach in addressing concerned residents is to be honest, respectful, and calm, while making confident and courteous eye contact. When speaking with a resident it is important not to disrupt them. Always smile and keep the tone of your voice level. Empathizing with the residents (placing yourself in their shoes) helps to resolve the matter more quickly. Should there be any property damage, we adhere to specific procedures to resolve the problem. The Foreman on the job site will notify the resident and the Inspector immediately. If the resident is not at home, then we will leave a WCA card with instructions to call our main office. The ultimate goal at each work site is to leave the property in the same condition as before we entered it. West Coast Arborists, Inc. will notify the City Representative immediately upon damage of personal property including plans for correc- tive measures to take place within 48 hours. A written log of all complaints will be main- tained to include the date, time of occurrence, location, problem, and action to be taken pur- suant thereto or reasoning for non action. Any activities found by the City to be unaccept- able will be rectified immediately. All other complaints will be abated or resolved within twenty-four (24) hours of the occurrence. We have separate teams specifically assigned for handling damage to properties, both private and public. Through our communication sys- tem, we have the ability to dispatch either of these teams and have them respond immedi- ately to the site for proper repair. COMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM -65- copyright ® 2002 Pruning Standards West Coast Arborists, Inc. will perform all tree maintenance in accor- dance with the Standards adopted by the American National Stan- dard for Tree Care Operations (ANSI A300-1995) and Western Chap- ter International Society of Arboriculture Pruning Standards. Final pruning cut will be made without leaving stubs. Cuts will be made in a manner to promote fast callous growth. Representative photo- graphs depicting "before and after" trimming are included in this pro- posal. West Coast Arborists, Inc. will clean all job sites when work is completed, including the raking of leaves, twigs, etc. from the lawn and parkway and the sweeping of streets. All resulting debris will be removed from the work site daily and properly disposed of at the end of each work day. Before After Complete tree pruning will consist of the total removal of those dead or living branches that may threaten the future health, strength and attractiveness of trees. Specifically, trees shall be pruned in such a manner as to: - Prevent branch and foliage interference with requirements of safe public passage. Over street clearance shall be kept to a minimum of fourteen (14) feet above the paved surface of the street and ten (10) feet above the curb and surface of a public sidewalk or pedestrian way. Exceptions are allowed for young trees, which would be irreparably damaged by such pruning action. - Remove all dead and dying branches and branch stubs that are one-half (1/2) inch diameter or larger. - Remove all broken or loose branches. - Clear trees of sprout or sucker growth to a minimum height of ten (10) feet above ground level. Exceptions are allowed for young trees, which would be irreparably damaged by such pruning action. - Obtain a balanced appearance when viewed from the opposite side of the street immediately opposite the tree, unless authorized by the City to do otherwise. - All persons performing tree work on City trees should be trained according to tree care standards accepted by the Intemational Society of Arboriculture. - All persons performing tree work on City trees in or around primary electrical lines will be trained to do so according to the "Electrical Safety Orders" of the State of California, including all amendments and revisions. -�-e•-�`:s.��.�rs�•s� ..tea Before After Safety of the public and our workers is always an over- riding and paramount concern for WCA. - When tree pruning cuts are made to a side limb, such remaining limb must possess a basal thickness of at least one-third (1/3) of the diameter of the wound so af- fected. Such cuts shall be considered proper only when such remaining limb is vigorous enough to maintain ad- equate foliage to produce wood growth capable of callus- ing the pruning cut so affected within a reasonable timeframe. - All final tree pruning cuts will be made in such a manner so as to favor the earliest possible covering of the wound by natural callus growth. Excessively deep flush cuts, which produce large wounds or weaken the tree at the cut, will not be made. The branch collar will not be re- moved. CnmPr.FTF TJunert F!-11D17CTDV AX. .-..vwr.'. D".-.. . M�hro9nm QUALITY CONTROL PLAN ' •btandards - Tree limbs will be removed and controlled in such a man ner as to cause no damage to other parts of the tree, or to other plants or property. - When removing a live branch, pruning cuts will be made in branch tissue just outside the branch bark ridge and collar, which are trunk tissue. If no collar is visible, the angle of the cut should approximate the angle formed by the branch bark ridge and the trunk. - When removing a dead branch, the final cut will be made outside the collar of live callus tissue. If the collar has grown out along the branch stub, only the dead stub will be re- moved, the live collar should remain intact and uninjured. Before 2 After - All tools used on a tree known to contain an infectious tree disease will be properly disinfected immediately before and after completing work on such tree. All major pest problems will be promptly reported to the City. - All cutting tools and saws used in tree pruning will be kept sharpened to result in final cuts with an unabrasive wood sur- face and secure bark remaining intact. All trees six (6) inches in diameter or less will be pruned with hand tools only. - Whenever pruning cuts are to be made, while removing limbs too large to hold securely in one hand during the cutting opera- tion, the limbs will be cut off first, one (1) to two (2) feet beyond the intended final cut. Then the final cut will be made in a manner to prevent unnecessary tearing back of the bark and wood. Such cutting back will not include the removal of any live, healthy limbs in excess of six (6) inches without prior City approval. - Any extraneous metal, wire, rubber or other material interfering with tree growth will be removed when possible. - When a tree is pruned, the tree worker will inspect for any obvious tree hazards. All hazardous situations will be corrected or promptly reported to the City. Any defective or weakened trees will be reported to the City. - The use of climbing spurs or spike shoes in the act of pruning trees is prohibited, unless specifically directed by the City. - Beneficial animal or birds nest or nesting cavities will be preserved and protected whenever feasible, unless doing so would create a hazard.

This training session is the fundamental building block of our success. We train our employees on how to handle themselves with professionalism and respect toward residents. The outline is as follows: ADDRESSING CONCERNED CUSTOMERS Customer Contact: • Courtesy is shown to customers at all times and under all circum- stances. Understand the reason(s) for customer dissatisfaction. Remain calm during stressful situations. Exhibit genuine concern for quality and customer satisfaction at all times. Keys to Dealing with a Concerned Customer: • First impressions are key, the resident will remember the first person they contact. • Stay calm at all times. • Have confident eye contact. • Know when to retrieve your foreman. While Speaking with a Concerned Customer: • Do not interrupt the customer. • Focus on his/her concern, do not get distracted. • Respond to accusations without being defensive. • Use a smile, always look interested and concerned. • Keep the tone of your voice level, do not get excited. • Always offer to help the customer (i.e. get the foreman). • Never blame WCA or fellow employees for the problem. • Empathize with residents - put yourself in their shoes. Maior Reasons for Customer Complaints: • They feel victimized - we are encroaching on their property. • We schedule a time to meet with them and do not follow through. • We do no pay attention to their request (i.e. one resident asked an employee to stay off his newly planted lawn, the resident turned around and the employee strutted directly across the lawn). • Brush is left in the yard (Quality Control is one of our greatest concerns). • They perceive you as disrespectful. -Discourtesy is often unintentional. -Treat every customer as if he/she is your relative. Incidental Damage: If at anytime property is damaged adhere to the following procedure: • Retrieve foreman to show them the damage. • Foreman will notify the resident if he/she is home. • If the resident is not home the foreman must leave a WCA card with instructions to call the office. • Notify the Contract Administrator immediately after notifying the resident. • Always be courteous and apologetic. • Property is to be left in the same condition as before you entered it. copyright ® 2002 C OMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Arboriculture Training Programs At West Coast Arborists, Inc. we pride ourselves on professional knowledge within our industry.

Contract out those services that can best be handled by the private sector and maintain those services that can best be handled by in-house personnel • In-house staff offers optimum flexibility to provide a multitude of services • They can be pulled or reassigned from one area to another as the need arises • Contract services for specific functions, such as tree maintenance, that are consistent and sta- ble can be very cost effective Advantages of Contracting with WCA • WCA will offer to assimilate all affected or any displaced employees from the City • Eliminate employee issues such as Worker's Compensation, liability, etc. • The quality of work will be enhanced by the performance of WCA's certified professionals • Certified, Professional Arborists supervise all field operations • Highly trained Customer Support Representatives addresses all tree -related concerns, and com- plaints in a timely manner • Unlimited technological resources and Information Management are available through WCA in- cluding tree inventory software, tree database, GPS/GIS capabilities, and website development • WCA's computerized inventory program assists with the management of the urban forest • WCA performs a hazard evaluation on all City owned trees, therefore reducing liability exposure • Access to unlimited resources to complete any tree work necessary (100' aerial lift units, 120' crane) • Emergency response services are available 7 days a week/24 hours per day • City employees will not lose their jobs due to contracting tree maintenance services. Advantages of Piggybacking with WCA • Organizations often utilize other agencies' formal bidding results (cooperative purchase agree- ment) when the agreement between the agency and vendor meets the specifications of the us- ing agency • This process eliminates staff time and related costs to prepare RFP's and specifications • The Agency benefits from another Agency's formal bid process and expedites the need for ser- vice • Additional services such as tree inventories, computer software packages, and Tree Master Plans may be offered over and above standard tree trimming contracts • Substantial cost savings • Increased levels of service V00wr COMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM copyright 0 2002 -93- Why Choose West Coast Arborists, Inc.?

CLEARANCE TRIM At times trees must be raised to a standard height of 14 feet or a height established by the City for the purpose of creating adequarte room for utility vehicles, paving equipment, and pedestrian traffic. Trimming will consist of only the bottom portion of the tree. Typically clearance trims are performed on a grid system. SMALL TREE CARE A specialized team will prune to encourage good tree structure, weed abatement, watering and staking, and tying needs. TREE REMOVALS Removal lists can be compiled by the Inspector and submitted monthly or as needed. Job sites shall be cleaned daily, including raking of leaves and removal of all debris. Logs of desirable length used as firewood will be left neatly stacked on parkways for pickup by residents. Wood not picked up five days after removal of tree will then be removed by the crew.

INVENTORY We have combined information technology with routine tree maintenance for successful management of the urban forest. A professional Inventory Specialist that is an ISA Certified Arborist will walk each street to collect tree data and to assess the tree's condition. An inventory may be collected prior to any maintenance or during the mainte- nance cycle. The inventory may consist of a standard database to a complete tree site inventory using Geographical Positioning Satellite (GPS) devices integrated with computers and WCA's unique tree care and tree management software programs.

COMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM copyright ® 2002 -26- SERVICES 1 1111 BE PERFORMED Standard Work Types GRID TRIMMING A systematic trimming per pre -de- signed district, grid or trim route to be trimmed on a set cycle to include all trees. All pruning will be completed in accordance with the standards set forth by the West- ern Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture, ANSI A300 Standards, and the City. All debris will be removed from job site daily. SERVICE REQUEST TRIM Trees that need service prior to their scheduled grid trim to rectify an immedi- ate problem; a full trim will be completed during the grid trimming cycle. Specific pruning on an "as needed" basis compiled by the City Inspector and submitted to WCA monthly, bi-weekly or weekly to be completed within two weeks or as needed. CLEARANCE TRIM At times trees must be raised to a standard height of 14 feet or a height established by the City for the purpose of creating adequarte room for utility vehicles, paving equipment, and pedestrian traffic. Trimming will consist of only the bottom portion of the tree. Typically clearance trims are performed on a grid system. SMALL TREE CARE A specialized team will prune to encourage good tree structure, weed abatement, watering and staking, and tying needs. TREE REMOVALS Removal lists can be compiled by the Inspector and submitted monthly or as needed. Job sites shall be cleaned daily, including raking of leaves and removal of all debris. Logs of desirable length used as firewood will be left neatly stacked on parkways for pickup by residents. Wood not picked up five days after removal of tree will then be removed by the crew. I STUMP REMOVALS Stumps will be ground to a depth of 18 inches. All holes will be backfilled, as well as all debris cleaned up and hauled off on the day the stump removal is completed. I TREE PLANTING Planting includes the tree, root barrier (when required by specifications), stakes, ties and complete installation. Planting lists should be compiled by the Inspector and submitted monthly or as needed. WCA will guarantee the life of the tree for a period of ninety days (90), excluding vandalism and extreme weather conditions. HOURLY CREW RENTAL The standard crew is three men, one chipper truck, one chipper, one aerial tower and all necessary hand tools. The crew and equipment can be modified to complete any type of miscellaneous tasks including special requests. Special requests consist of extraordinary work, -such as hanging flags, changing bulbs at park loca- tions, or trimming specific trees requiring immediate attention prior to their scheduled grim trim. Special requests may be called in by the. Inspector, but should also be submitted in writing. EMERGENCY CALL OUT A list of emergency phone numbers will be provided to the City along with an Emergency Response procedure manual. WCA will respond to emergency calls on a 24-hour basis. Emergency work will begin on- j site within sixty (60) minutes from the time of notification by the City. The crew will do what is necessary to render the hazardous tree or tree -related condition safe. TREE WATERING May be called in by the Inspector for various routes throughout the City. INVENTORY We have combined information technology with routine tree maintenance for successful management of the urban forest. A professional Inventory Specialist that is an ISA Certified Arborist will walk each street to collect tree data and to assess the tree's condition. An inventory may be collected prior to any maintenance or during the mainte- nance cycle. The inventory may consist of a standard database to a complete tree site inventory using Geographical Positioning Satellite (GPS) devices integrated with computers and WCA's unique tree care and tree management software programs. MASTER PLAN WCA's management plan may include a complete street tree planting program. The plan incorporates j the existing species and recommend new ones based on conditions exclusive to that site. * COMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM copyright © 2002 27 Benefits of a Grid Pruning Program Regardless of the amount of a community's tree management budget, systematic tree maintenance reduces costs in the long term. Systematic tree maintenance programs reduce the need for "emergency" or "service request" pruning, help prevent liability problems (such as dead or weak branches), reduce tree mortality and improve the urban forest's health and real value over the long term. A systematic tree maintenance program is composed of pre -designed trimming grids which are pruned in their entirety on a set schedule. By trimming every tree on the street regardless of size, every resident in that community feels that they have received a service for their tax dollars. At the same time, the safety and welfare of the community will be enhanced. The following are a few of the benefits of a grid trimming system: Scheduling. A long term grid schedule is set at the beginning of the project appropriating efficient use of personnel and resources. The trimming cycle should be scheduled throughout the entire fiscal year. Improved Public Relations: Citizens can be informed in advance when their trees are scheduled for service. This is a pro -active approach to manage the community's urban forest. Equal Service: Every citizen receives service whether requested or not. Maintenance is not dependent on a formal request or individual. Preventive Maintenance: All city trees receive routine maintenance and inspections. Problems are corrected before they reach crisis levels. Improved Health: Area pruning improves the health of the tree population through routinely pruning weakened or pest -infested branches and developing sound and vigorously growing crowns. Maintain a Capital Asset: The urban forest is one of the Cities most valuable and overlooked capital assets. By investing in the systematic maintenance concept, the City is maintaining its overall and real financial value to the community. Reduced Liability: Due to the efficiency of grid trimming, all trees are serviced in a timely manner, reducing liability exposure. Efficient Record Keeping: The foreman is able to update tree characteristic information on every tree in the City over the trim cycle period. Records are maintained for current status and returned to the City for their files. Below is a sample trim cycle schedule: COMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM copyright 02002 -28- Pruning Operations The results of using this pro -active tree maintenance strategy are long term reduced costs, increased public safety, content residents, and an increased value of an essential City asset. Prior to commencement of work, WCA will post door hangers informing residents of the work that is to be performed. These notices will be delivered within the time speci- fied by the City. Tree pruning will be done as to: 1) prevent branch and foliage interfer- ence with safety requirements, 2) remove all broken or loose branches, 3) clear trees of sprout and sucker growth, 4) obtain a balanced appear- ance when viewed from the opposite side of the street immediately op- posite the tree, 5) remove and control tree limbs as to cause no damage to other parts of the tree, or to other plants or property. In addition to providing complete pruning operations, our highly trained and qualified staff will also perform clearance -pruning services, which consist of removing branches to provide a fourteen (14) foot clearance -��-- from the top of the curb when practical. This operation also involves clearing limbs or branches away from electrical wires, lights, buildings, and/or traffic signal devices. Also, we will remove all trunk sprouts and suckers and clear limbs to provide for pedestrian travel. All work will be performed in accordance with I.S.A. Standards, ANSI A300 Standards and City specifications. The debris will be removed from the job site and taken to a designated greenwaste facility for recycling. All resulting debris will be removed from the job site daily and properly disposed of at the end of each workday. We will clean all job sites when work is completed, including the raking of leaves, twigs, etc. from the lawn and parkway and the sweeping of streets. Clearance Pruning In addition to providing complete pruning operations, our highly trained staff will also perform clearance pruning services, which consist of removing branches to provide a fourteen (14) foot clearance from the top of the curb when practical. This operation also involves clearing limbs or branches away from wires, lights, building, and/or traffic signal devices. Also, we will remove all trunk sprouts and suckers and clear limbs to provide for pedes- trian travel. All work will be performed in accordance with I.S.A. Standards, ANSA A300 Standards and City specifications. Small Tree Care WCA supports the belief of the ISA that proper pruning and care during the early stages of the tree's life will save money in the future, and create a safer, more beautiful, healthy, and easy -to -maintain tree. We believe that tree care that is performed early will affect its shape, strength and life span. Our specialized Small Tree Care Team is trained to perform selective thinning, removal of dead, interfering, split and broken limbs, weed abatement, lawn raking, and watering. As the trees we plant ma- ture it is apparent that the trees, and adjacent parkways, have definite maintenance needs. Therefore, WCA will work with the City staff to establish a Small Tree Care Maintenance Action Plan to address the tree and parkway maintenance requirements on an individual basis. Each tree is inspected to determine specific needs and maintenance activities are then performed accordingly. The guidelines are as follows: - Check parkway grade - Check size & tree well condition - Weed tree well as needed - Prune tree as necessary - Re -stake & re -tie as needed �r COMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM copyright © 2002 _z9- Removal Operations Removals will be completed per monthly lists compiled and submitted by the City or on an "as needed" basis. With a mini- mum of forty-eight hours advance notice, WCA will inform Un- derground Service Alert (USA) of the location of work for the purpose of identifying any and all utility lines. The removal process will include the use of a crane, when nec- essary, capable of lowering limb(s) delicately onto the ground to prevent any hardscape damage. We propose to utilize a skip loader to remove large trunks and debris from the job site. The debris will be placed in large containers and be removed from the job site and taken to a designated greenwaste facility. Im- mediately following the removal, the stump will be grounded down in accordance with I.S.A. Standards, ANSI A300 Standards and City specifications. Job sites will be cleaned daily, including raking of leaves and removal of all debris. Upon City notice, we will then re -plant and restore the existing landscape in accor- dance with the City's specifications. Planting Operations We can replace trees that have been removed and plant new trees in accordance with the City's specification. Trees will be planted by lists compiled and submitted monthly by the City, or on an "as -needed" basis. We are prepared financially and logisti- cally to acquire and purchase selected tree species for tree plant- ing in the City. We have the capability to send notices via U.S. Mail informing residents of the work that is to be performed. These notices will include a photo of the new tree that is to be planted along with a description of its characteristics. During this time, and at a mini- mum of forty-eight hours in advance, we will inform Underground Service Alert (USA) of the location of work for the purpose of iden- tifying any and all utility lines. Once the City approves the trees to be planted, we will plant in accordance with I.S.A. Standards, ANSI A300 Standards and City specifications. A well trained planting team will perform the soil preparation, installation of the tree, small tree maintenance in- cluding watering, and surrounding landscape restoration and re- pair. Ability to Purchase Trees Cities expect the highest quality of new trees, proven varieties and an organization with tree planting knowledge and skills. By meet- ing these expectations, WCA is able to contribute to the success of reforestation projects within communities. In order to complete successful tree planting programs, cities can rely on WCA to locate, acquire and purchase different tree species. Being familiar with over fifty nurseries in Southern California, allows WCA to obtain the best tree available from a broad and plentiful stock. Once trees are purchased, and based on the size of the project, they are delivered to our facility in Anaheim or at a staging area within the City. It is through this process that we have planted an average of 25,000 trees for all of our customers each year during the past three years. COMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANArFMFNT P12!"1[:1?AAd coovdaht 0 2002 -30- Crew Rental Emergency Operations A list of emergency call out tele- phone numbers will be provided to the City, Police Department and Fire Department. We will be prepared for emergency calls on a 7-day, 24-hour basis. Our emergency response team will do what is necessary to render the hazardous tree or tree -related condition safe until the following workday. Should the emergency call out occur during normal busi- ness hours, one of our teams will respond to the scene and per- form the necessary work. There are many services that we provide to agencies that don't necessarily involve tree maintenance. Be- cause of our commitment to customer satisfaction and our vast amount of resources, which includes specialty equipment, and qualified personnel, WCA responds to various miscellaneous requests. Some examples of these services are flag hanging, holiday light installation, changing ballpark lights, and mis- cellaneous use of our 100-foot aerial towers and cranes. These types of services are performed on a crew rental basis, which consists of any number of men with necessary equipment. Special tree trim- ming requests are also performed under an hourly crew rental. _� _ Watering T. Tree watering will be performed by a full-time, WCAteam mem- ber on various routes, includ- ing landscape medians, and young trees when requested by the City. This team will also be respon- sible for reporting special care needs to the Small Tree Care Team. This could include re- porting weeds, soil that has settled, and/or staking & tying needs. COMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM copyright G 2002 -3t- SERVICES • ' List Tracking System The List Tracking Report is a useful tool in the management of incoming work. This report allows us to track specific jobs as they are ordered by the City. Proper use of this system enables the City and WCA to track the completion of work that is ordered. Also, projected work schedules and trim cycles may be calculated on real time by reviewing how long the project took in the past.

Not only are we producing an increasing amount of solid waste each year, but we are running out of places to put it. Because of the concern about water and air pollution associated with landfills, the opportunities to develop additional disposal capacity are limited. To address these issues, the Governor of California signed into law on September 29, 1989, Assembly Bill 939 (AB 939). The law fundamentally restructured the state's approach to solid waste management. AB 939 established an integrated waste management hierarchy in the following order of importance: • Source reduction • Recycling and composting • Environmentally safe transformation and land disposal of solid wastes AB 939 requires that each California county and incorporated city prepare a Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (SRRE) report which shows how they will meet solid waste diversion goals of 50 percent by the year 2000 and beyond. West Coast Arborists, Inc., offers a multitude of, waste diversion opportunities to cities including mulch, compost, firewood and logs to lumber. In an effort to provide cities with valued informa- tion pursuant to AB 939 requirements, we generate a monthly Green Waste Recycling report at no additional cost. COMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANAGEMBNT PROGRAM copyright O 2002 -35- Green Waste Diversion Program WCA's commitment to be a socially responsible corporate partner to our customers and commu- nities is exemplified in our Greenwaste Diversion Program. With the steadily -increasing concern for the ecological health of our communities, West Coast Arborists, Inc. has embarked on a landfill diversion process where all greenwaste is taken to recycling facilities where it is used in the pro- duction of soil amendments. We are committed to taking all recyclable materials removed from the trees trimmed for the duration of this project to a recycling center for processing. Such recyclable material will be referred to as "greenwaste". Verification of amounts recycled will be obtained by West Coast Arborists, Inc. Receipts will be provided to the City for the purpose of meeting the goals of the State for reducing landfill usage. TREE PRODUCTS: M U L C H Mulch is made from coarse ground branches and leaves. It should be spread on the ground at a rate of six to twelve inches for best effect. Fresh mulch will deplete nitrogen from the surface of the soil which will reduce unwanted weeds. Once the mulch has decayed, it returns nitrogen which helps build the quality of soil for plants. A large amount of tree debris is processed by West Coast Arborists and used in large scale mulching projects for establishing native plants in open space areas. COMPOST Compost is made from fine ground branches, leaves or other organic material: When mixed with oxygen and water, the organic material will decay or "compost." A finished compost is excellent for turning into the top layer of soil and will add nitrogen and increase the water holding capacity of soil. You can make compost at home in a pile in your yard or in a bin that you make or purchase. Large scale composting is done at regional recycling facilities. . FIREWOOD Firewood is traditionally the most common use of large branches and logs. Firewood is used to heat homes during winter months. West Coast Arborists takes logs to a yard in Irvine where a firewood re- tailer splits and resells the firewood to local residents. LOGS TO LUMBER Currently West Coast Arborists is looking for new and better ideas for the use of tree logs. An old idea.with a new approach is convert- ing city trees into usable lumber. WCA worked on a twelve month trial program with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Pro- tection to create an environmentally sound and socially responsible alternative to importing lumber from other areas, reducing our de- mand on trees from natural forests. WCA has demonstrated its wood, hand -crafting ability by offering sturdy and beautiful wooden benches for city use, exemplifying our commitment to the environment.

(800) 521-3714 c1999 ANNUAL TREE MAINTENANCE HIGHLIGHT REPORT MASTER STREET TREE PLAN WCA and the Public Works Depart- ment developed a Master Street Tree Plan to manage future growth of one of the City's most valued assets: street trees. The plan builds upon the legacy of past work, and addresses issues re- lating to the health and welfare of the City's trees that will benefit future gen- erations. A component of the Master Street Tree Plan is the tree site inven- tory. While compiling the units used in the Planting Plan, the Data Collec- tor collects an entire inventory of the City's tree population. In addition, va- cant sites are also collected based on the spacing criteria specifications set forth by the City. STREET TREE PLANTING PLAN West Coast Arborists, Inc. have de- veloped a complex, yet user-friendly, Street Tree Planting Program. The program entails incorporating the ex- isting species and recommending new ones based on conditions exclusive to that site. The. City was broken down into units based on similar planting conditions such as, parkway size, overhead utilities and residen- tial and arterial areas. Three species recommendations were given to the City for selection. The selection is the designated species for that unit. An integral part of this program is the community outreach. Residents are notified via a letter accompanying a colored photocopy of the designated species. Residents are given care in- structions. For example, avoid weed wackers injuring the bark of new trees. We have found that involving the community in the street tree re- forestation program has been a tre- mendous success.

LOGS TO LUMBER An old idea with a new approach is converting City trees into usable lum- ber. In an ongoing effort to reduce waste from the Urban forest, West Coast Arborists is currently distribut- ing valuable urban lumber to cities all over California. The program was initiated as a six month pivot program, working in conjunction with the Cali- fornia Department of Forestry and W. a' Fiscal 1999 - 2000 Fire Protection. After utilizing CDF's saw mill and with the increasing inter- est in diverting greenwaste, we in- vested in a saw mill of our own'.

West CoastArborists, Inc. has implemented tech- nology across the organization and combined it with the full range of tree care services. As a result, technol- ogy has enabled us to reduce costs, increase services and provide municipalities with essential, decision - making information on past, present and future urban forest health and'environmental issues. Our technologi- cal innovation has allowed us to plan, project, and implement prgograms that address the multi -faceted needs of the urban forest. We have achieved a significant advantage through effective management of information, including our experience in tree inventories, tree reports, maintenance recommendations, and software devel- opment. As we enter the next millennium the success of any urban forest management program will depend on the comprehensive and timely management of information. We have more than fifteen years experience in collecting tree inventories and developing inventory databases, including a powerful information management program that standardizes and enables dynamic management of the City's Urban Forest. In addition to provid- ing complete tree care, WCA assists cities with the development of tree inventories, tree master plans and tree management plans.

We will also provide identification of dying and/or diseased trees and recommended planting sites. The success of any urban forest management program will depend on the management of information; such information allows the City to make significant decisions on tree related issues. Should the City's staff, Commissioners, and/or Council request further, in-depth reports on specific trees, we are staffed with qualified and Certified personnel to provide a thorough analysis. We can perform a complete tree inventory through one,of three methods: - Tree Inventory Collected Prior to Commencement of Work - Tree Inventory and Global Positioning System (GPS) Information Collected Prior to Work - Tree Inventory Collected as Work Progresses Prior to Commencement of Work It ` The first option is to conduct an in- ventory prior to performing any tree ....-.,,.....: .. maintenance. A professional Inven- tory Specialist, who is a certified arborist as recognized by the Western Chapter International Society of Arboriculture (WCISA), will walk each City street to collect tree site information and to assess the tree condition. The information will be provided to the City in a database for- mat, which can be downloaded into several current, com- puter software programs. Global Positioning System (GPS) The second option that is completed prior to the commence- ment of work is to collect the tree inventory using Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates. The tree inventory and GPS coordinates can be linked directly to a Geographi- cal Information System (GIS) program, such as ArcView, for geo-coding purposes. Using a handheld computer and a backpack GPS receiver, the inventory collector will iden- tify the trees by their global coordinates of longitude and latitude, within one meter. By collecting the data using the - < GPS system, the City can overlay the tree data with GIS layers or other infrastructure assets. At the end of the project, the City will receive a complete listing of all sites inventoried, both in hard copy and on a computer diskette, which, will enable connecting the inventory to the City's GIS program, along with various frequency reports generated from the data contained in the inventory. As Work Progresses The final option is to conduct an inventory as tree maintenance is performed. Through a grid trimming system, the Foreman will record the tree site data and submit the information for processing along with the bi-weekly billing. The completion of the inventory coincides with the trim cycle set forth by the City. Condition of City's Urban Forest The success of any urban forest management program will depend on the management of information; WCA believes this information will allow the City to make essential decisions on tree related issues. Should the City's staff, Commissioners, and/or Council request further, in-depth reports on specific trees, we are staffed with qualified Certified personnel to provide a thorough analysis. Prior to the commencement of work, we will provide a complete inventory of the City's Urban Forest.

This Microsoft-compatiable program was developed based on the needs of our customers. Since it is a sole -proprietary program, we have the capability to customize the program to our customers' specific needs. The user-friendly program allows customers to store, retrieve, update, delete and add tree records and work histories. ArborAccess also features customizable options that allow for additional infor- mation to be compiled within the database such as infrastructure assets or sidewalk damage. The information contained in ArborAccess can also be linked directly to a GIs. program, such as ArcView, for geo-coding purposes. By collecting the data using the GPS system, cities can consolidate tree data with other various GPS coded programs. The information management possibilities for data integration are endless for urban forestry management programs that use similar management methods and resources. Computer Software Specifications ArborAccess is a computer software program designed by the tree care professionals at West Coast Arborists. In conjunction with several California cities, WCA designed the program in a user-friendly environment to assist professionals in the management of the urban forest. The software organizes your tree inventory and provides an interface that is easy to use and understand. In addition to tree inventory management, ArborAccess can also be linked directly to a Geographical Information System (GIS) and can assist your agency in meeting newly enacted GASB34 requirements. By utilizing ArborAccess and incorporating tree maintenance, the tree inven- tory is automatically updated with each billing cycle. This process eliminates the hassle of dual inputting by the City and WCA. There are several features that can be generated to assist you with ordering and tracking work, resident requests, maintenance scheduling, and budget projections. In addition, ArborAccess provides an unlimited resource of information on your City's urban forest. Special features and operating system require- ments are as follows: • User -Friendly Operating Environment • Inventory - Collection & Management • Specialized Reports - Frequency - Work Summary - Species Information • Work History by Location • Scheduling of Maintenance • List Preparation & Printing • List Tracking • Export/Import Capability • GIS Mapping • Automatic Work History Update • Link to Street Tree Master Plan • Representative Species Photographs • Customizable COMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANAGFMF_NT PRnCIRAHA copVrighta2002 -47- Innovative Data Management DETAILED TREE SITE CHARACTERISTICS The state-of-the-art technology provides a valuable tool to ur- ban forestry professionals by displaying tree site specifics along with a representative photograph of the species type and a recommended maintenance field. By clicking on the HISTORY button the work history for that particular tree site appears. Information can be added, edited or deleted from this location P6.—A as well. ArborAccess' built-in. quality control features assist in " data accuracy. As maintenance is performed, the work his- P MT tory is automatically updated via diskette downloads that ac- company bi-weekly invoices. This process assists the City in - elimination of dual -inputting and helps keep the tree inventory " current. ACCURATE MAINTENANCE RECORDS Accurate maintenance records for each location can assist the City with liability claims. Providing a detailed history of the main- tenance performed at each location can display the effort the City puts forth in maintaining its urban forest. By linking the tree maintenance to the tree inventory it eliminates the task of hav- ing to go through the data entry process because the records are updated concurrently with each billing cycle. LINKS TO MASTER STREET TREE PLAN ArborAccess can be linked directly to the City's Master Street Tree Plan. The Master Plan should build upon the legacy of work that has been done in the past as well as create a con- cept that builds on the goals of the City that can be imple- mented into the future. The three species shown have been recommended as replacement species to the existing trees should they happen to fail or to fill vacant sites. WORK TRACKING WITH LISTS List tracking is a successful tool in urban forestry management. By utilizing the tree inventory system to create lists, this en- sures that the data being uploaded into the system is accurate. The lists can be created and submitted by work type and once the maintenance is performed the tree inventory will be updated upon the completion of the billing cycle. With accurate tracking of maintenance, several types of reports can be generated to estimate future budgeting expenses and projected trim cycles. FN is aAku .hC T4.-Ky.MR W.C-dA*—.he Tr-NSWq Neigr!

Some report samples are: • Inventory Report • Job List Report • Sidewalk Damage Report • Summary Report • Work History Report • Recommended Maintenance Report • DBH Frequency Report • Height Frequency Report • Individual Tree Site Report • All Trees at an Address • All Trees on a Block • Species Frequency Report (shown at right) The Species Frequency Report can assist your agency in identifying the tree population within the urban forest. This type of information is valuable in the event of an insect infestation, deadly disease, or even estimating future maintenance costs. In addition, an analysis can be performed to evaluate the history of the performance of a particular species within your City.

The inventory methodology used by WCA allows the lists to be printed by mailing address or by on address. The differ- ence between these addresses is that the trees may belong to a certain mailing address, but in the case of block trimming, it may fall on another street which we call "On Address". Dif- ferentiating these addresses assists in man- aging the street tree inventory and mainte- nance scheduling. This option also allows WCA or the City to update the list as work is completed. In addition, modifications to the actual tree may be noted and updated when the hard copy is returned. This procedure is one of the most crucial tasks in keeping the tree inventory updated and current. This pro- cess is one of the many things that sets WCA apart from other tree care providers. Not only do we provide outstanding tree care, we as- sist your agency in maintaining the tree inven- tory database at no additional cost. COMPLETE URRAN FnuRCFruv MANTAI-%VKA1TMq- UDr%f+DA�A r-nnvrinht•9002 -49- Street Tree Master Plan The trees in each City are a valuable aesthetical and economical resource. The goal of the Street Tree Master Plan is to develop an effective tree care program consistent with the City's objectives and to provide options to minimize costs. These are intended to protect the value of existing trees and provide a method of enhancement for the future. Preserva- tion of urban trees is improved with the assistance of modem data management. Accurate analysis of the present tree population permits forecasting for future maintenance activities. This element of the project considers the intent for the community development, the physical condition of the forest, and the existing tree site environment. Survey results and discussion in this report focus on physical and environmental conditions with additional maintenance considerations. WCA's custom method of collecting tree data results in a wealth of information. In your City, as in most communities, there is no shortage of special considerations for applying collected data to recommendations. The fundamental basis for tree management in your City is the preservation of the urban forest and maintaining the desired character of the community. The Master Plan also entails incorporating the existing species and recommending new ones based on the conditions exclusive to that site. This is beneficial for future development, tree planting opportunities and tree grant requirements.

The City recently conducted an inventory of existing parkway trees and developed a comprehensive Street Tree Master Plan. During the inventory process, we noted a vacancy in the parkway in front of your home and plans are currently underway to plant a tree in this location. The selected tree species designated for you block is an AMERICAN SWEETGUM (see attached photograph/illustration). This selection was made based upon the Street Tree Master Plan and the performance and history of the tree within the City. It was also based on characteristics specific to that tree such as growing space, root structure and general resistance to climate, insects and disease. We believe the urban forest is an important part of a city. Trees beautify, increase property values and lower air temperature. We trust you will be pleased with your new tree. The City will be responsible for all maintenance needs of the tree including trimming, treatment of pests and diseases, and repairing damage to public sidewalk, curb and gutter. We only ask that you take the responsibility to water your tree and trim any basal or "sucker" growth that can be reached from the ground. Upon planting, you will receive instructions explaining proper watering/care procedures for your new tree. I f for some reason you do not want a tree planted in the parkway in front of your home, please complete and return the enclosed postcard by August l 1998. Thank you for your time and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please call Eric Johnson, Parks Supervisor at (714) 990-7694.

Complaints and Damage Resolution Successful partnerships with municipalities begin with the community. We believe in handling concerns in a timely manner to the best of our ability. West Coast Arborists, Inc. provides an extensive in-house training curriculum, developed by the company, for all employees to broaden their knowledge of customer relations. Our line of work calls for us to be in direct contact with local residents, business owners and various commu- nity groups. When communicating with a customer, common courtesy will be displayed at all times and under all circumstances. We must also try to understand the full impact of the customer's dissatisfaction prior to resolving the matter. As we work with or near the public, WCA is mindful that we will most likely by the first person the public contacts. The best approach in addressing concerned residents is to be honest, respectful, and calm, while making confident and courteous eye contact. When speaking with a resident it is important not to disrupt them. Always smile and keep the tone of your voice level. Empathizing with the residents (placing yourself in their shoes) helps to resolve the matter more quickly. Should there be any property damage, we adhere to specific procedures to resolve the problem. The Foreman on the job site will notify the resident and the Inspector immediately. If the resident is not at home, then we will leave a WCA card with instructions to call our main office. The ultimate goal at each work site is to leave the property in the same condition as before we entered it. West Coast Arborists, Inc. will notify the City Representative immediately upon damage of personal property including plans for correc- tive measures to take place within 48 hours. A written log of all complaints will be main- tained to include the date, time of occurrence, location, problem, and action to be taken pur- suant thereto or reasoning for non action. Any activities found by the City to be unaccept- able will be rectified immediately. All other complaints will be abated or resolved within twenty-four (24) hours of the occurrence. We have separate teams specifically assigned for handling damage to properties, both private and public. Through our communication sys- tem, we have the ability to dispatch either of these teams and have them respond immedi- ately to the site for proper repair. C OMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM copyright © 2002 -65- Pruning Standards West Coast Arborists, Inc. will perform all tree maintenance in accor- dance with the Standards adopted by the American National Stan- dard for Tree Care Operations (ANSI A300-1995) and Western Chap- ter International Society of Arboriculture Pruning Standards. Final pruning cut will be made without leaving stubs. Cuts will be made in a manner to promote fast callous growth. Representative photo- graphs depicting "before and after" trimming are included in this pro- posal. West Coast Arborists, Inc. will clean all job sites when work is completed, including the raking of leaves, twigs, etc. from the lawn and parkway and the sweeping of streets. All resulting debris will be removed from the work site daily and properly disposed of at the end of each work day. Before After Complete tree pruning will consist of the total removal of those dead or living branches that may threaten the future health, strength and attractiveness of trees. Specifically, trees shall be pruned in such a manner as to: - Prevent branch and foliage interference with requirements of safe public passage. Over street clearance shall be kept to a minimum of fourteen (14) feet above the paved surface of the street and ten (10) feet above the curb and surface of a public sidewalk or pedestrian way. Exceptions are allowed for young trees, which would be irreparably damaged by such pruning action. - Remove all dead and dying branches and branch stubs that are one-half (1/z) inch diameter or larger. - Remove all broken or loose branches. - Clear trees of sprout or sucker growth to a minimum height of ten (10) feet above ground level. Exceptions are allowed for young trees, which would be irreparably damaged by such pruning action. - Obtain a balanced appearance when viewed from the opposite side of the street immediately opposite the tree, unless authorized by the City to do otherwise. - All persons performing tree work on City trees should be trained according to tree care standards accepted by the International Society of Arboriculture. - All persons performing tree work on City trees in or around primary electrical lines will be trained to do so according to the "Electrical Safety Orders" of the State of California, including all amendments and revisions. Before Safety of the public and our workers is always an over- riding and paramount concern for WCA. - When tree pruning cuts are made to a side limb, such remaining limb must possess a basal thickness of at least one-third (1/3) of the diameter of the wound so af- fected. Such cuts shall be considered proper only when such remaining limb is vigorous enough to maintain ad- equate foliage to produce wood growth capable of callus- ing the pruning cut so affected within a reasonable timeframe. - All final tree pruning cuts will be made in such a manner so as to favor the earliest possible covering of the wound by natural callus growth. Excessively deep flush cuts, which produce large wounds or weaken the tree at the cut, will not be made. The branch collar will not be re- moved. After nk4pr.FTF T TA R AM R-- ------•••..7 �+......... a a 1lVViCr1 Nl .. liplyl It eL 4 -66- Pruning Standards - Tree limbs will be removed and controlled in such a man- ner as to cause no damage to other parts of the tree, or to other plants or property. - When removing a live branch, pruning cuts will be made in branch tissue just outside the branch bark ridge and collar, which are trunk tissue. If no collar is visible, the angle of the cut should approximate the angle formed by the branch bark ridge and the trunk. - When removing a dead branch, the final cut will be made outside the collar of live callus tissue. If the collar has grown out along the branch stub, only the dead stub will be re- moved, the live collar should remain intact and uninjured. Before After - All tools used on a tree known to contain an infectious tree disease will be properly disinfected immediately before and after completing work on such tree. All major pest problems will be promptly reported to the City. - All cutting tools and saws used in tree pruning will be kept sharpened to result in final cuts with an unabrasive wood sur- face and secure bark remaining intact. All trees six (6) inches in diameter or less will be pruned with hand tools only. - Whenever pruning cuts are to be made, while removing limbs too large to hold securely in one hand -during the cutting opera- tion, the limbs will be cut off first, one (1) to two (2) feet beyond the intended final cut. Then the final cut will be made in a manner to prevent unnecessary tearing back of the bark and wood. Such cutting back will not include the removal of any live, healthy limbs in excess of six (6) inches without prior City approval. - Any extraneous metal, wire, rubber or other material interfering with tree growth will be removed when possible. - When a tree is pruned, the tree worker will inspect for any obvious tree hazards. All hazardous situations will be corrected or promptly reported to the City. Any defective or weakened trees will be reported to the City. - The use of climbing spurs or spike shoes in the act of pruning trees is prohibited, unless specifically directed by the City. Beneficial animal or birds nest or nesting cavities will be preserved and protected whenever feasible, unless doing so would create a hazard. i COMPLETE URBAN FORESTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM copyright a 2002 .67_ Equipment ♦ Our modern fleet consists of over 400 ve- hicles ♦ We have a state-of-the-art full service Main- tenance Department at our corporate head- quarters ♦ WCA has 14 full-time mechanics on staff ♦ All equipment undergoes daily inspection by the driver ♦ 90 day detailed inspections are performed by the WCA Maintenance Department ♦ Aerial lift safety inspections occur annually ♦ All equipment is kept serviced and free of graffiti at all times ♦ We have a successful Preventative Mainte- nance Program managed by our Shop Foreman ♦ Our equipment is painted and detailed on a regular basis ♦ We have a credit line of $2 million dollars for the acquisition of new equipment ♦ WCA'S policy is that all employees hold a valid, insurable California Driver's License.

Contract out those services that can best be handled by the private sector and maintain those services that can best be handled by in-house personnel • In-house staff offers optimum flexibility to provide a multitude of services • They can be pulled or reassigned from one area to another as the need arises • Contract services for specific functions, such as tree maintenance, that are consistent and sta- ble can be very cost effective Advantages of Contracting with WCA • WCA will offer to assimilate all affected or any displaced employees from the City • Eliminate employee issues such as Worker's Compensation, liability, etc. • The quality of work will be enhanced by the performance of WCA's certified professionals • Certified, Professional Arborists supervise all field operations • Highly trained Customer Support Representatives addresses all tree -related concerns, and com- plaints in a timely manner • Unlimited technological resources and Information Management are available through WCA in- cluding tree inventory software, tree database, GPS/GIS capabilities, and website development • WCA's computerized inventory program assists with the management of the urban forest • WCA performs a hazard evaluation on all City owned trees, therefore reducing liability exposure • Access to unlimited resources to complete any tree work necessary (100' aerial lift units, 120' crane) • Emergency response services are available 7 days a week/24 hours per day .• City employees will not lose their jobs due. to contracting tree maintenance services. Advantages of Piggybacking with WCA • Organizations often utilize other agencies' formal bidding results (cooperative purchase agree- ment) when the agreement between the agency and vendor meets the specifications of the us- ing agency • This process eliminates staff time and related costs to prepare RFP's and specifications • The Agency benefits from another Agency's formal bid process and expedites the need for ser- vice • Additional services such as tree inventories, computer, software packages, and Tree Master Plans may be offered over and above standard tree trimming contracts • Substantial cost savings • Increased levels of service VV%.ow—i'r �.�nnri�"lr URBAN t'ORESTRY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM copyright ©2002 -93- Why Choose West Coast Arborists, Inc.?
