BACKGROUND:
In accordance with the Priority Plan, the City values the natural environment and cares for Naperville's tree canopy in several ways including restoring, trimming and removing trees. In October 2024, the Department of Public Works issued Bid 24-240, Tree Removal and Stump Grinding, to contract with experienced and qualified forestry contractors for tree and stump removal services upon the right-of-way of any street or alley and upon property owned or maintained by the City.

All infested trees must be removed within 10 days of notification by the City.
