Submit statements of qualifications and performance data to Kittitas County Department of Public
Works, 411 North Ruby Street, Suite 1, Ellensburg, Washington 98926.
For more information, contact Public Works
Kittitas County shall evaluate statements of qualifications and performance data submitted by firms
regarding the proposed project. Following the evaluation, the county may invite one or more firms to
meet with county officials to discuss the project and the relative benefits of various methods of
providing the desired services. The county then selects from among those firms the one "most highly
qualified" to provide the required services. County procedures and guidelines are to include a plan to
ensure that women, minority, and veteran -owned firms have the maximum opportunity to compete for
the contract. The level of firm participation should be consistent with their availability within the
relevant professional community.
After choosing the most qualified firm, the county then negotiates with that firm for a contract at a
price the county determines is fair and reasonable, considering the estimated value of the services to
be rendered, as well as the scope and complexity of the project. If a satisfactory contract cannot be
negotiated, the county formally terminates the negotiations with that firm and attempts to negotiate a
contract with the next most qualified firm. The process continues until an agreement is reached or the
search is terminated.
In emergency situations, the process outlined above for procuring services maybe dispensed with
upon a finding by the county that an emergency requires the immediate execution of the work
involved.
All submittals shall become the property of Kittitas County.
Kittitas County reserves the right to reject all submittals and re -advertise if necessary.

Request For Proposals
Spring Creek Planting
Advertisement: April 22 and April 29, 2021
All submittals received after 4:00 PM Friday, May 14, 2021 will be discarded
RFP: Spring Creek Planting
1. Purpose
Kittitas County (County) requests contractor services for planting native vegetation on a portion of
parcel 508933. Parcel 508933 is located at 731 Stone Rd., Ellensburg Washington. The site is south of
the city of Ellensburg and adjacent to the Yakima River. This restoration project is sponsored by the
Habitat Subcommittee of the Yakima Basin Integrated Plan. The County requires a contractor with
task -specific knowledge and expertise. The planting portion of this project is scheduled to commence
in Fall 2021 but some tasks may occur before then in coordination with the County.
2. Scope of Project
In December 2019 the County purchased parcel 508933 for the purposes of reducing flood risk and
improving floodplain habitat. This acquisition advances a high priority project identified in the 2015
Yakima River Jeffries Levee to Yakima Canyon Habitat Enhancement and Flood Risk Management
Plan.
The goal of the Project is to establish riparian habitat along Spring Creek. Restoration activities will
establish native species that are appropriate for site conditions, with an emphasis on tree overstory and
shrub understory conditions that will mature to provide shade and cover for Spring Creek and increase
floodplain roughness. Existing riparian vegetation adjacent to Spring Creek is limited to sporadic and
relatively young native shrubs. None of these species are thriving due to previous land uses which
limited vegetation growth along the creek.
The Spring Creek planting area is approximately 15.2 acres (Appendix A, Figure 1 & Figure 2).
Areas to be planted by the contractor have been divided into 3 zones (Appendix A, Figure 2). This
RFP is for planting native trees and shrubs in Zones 1 and 2 as well as seeding in Zones 1, 2, and 3.
The County will plant cottonwood poles within Zone 3 prior to seeding by the contractor. The County
may elect to optionally expand the baseline award to include soil amendment, fencing, and irrigation
installation based on project funding availability.
3. Project Activities
The work to be performed under this contract consists of the following general tasks. These tasks are
further itemized in the, Planting Plan (Appendix B) and Bid Sheets (Appendix Q.
1) Planting
The contractor will plant native shrubs and trees in 4.9 acres (Appendix A, Figure 2). Appendix B
provides the planting plan, which specifies species, stock type, and quantity for each planting zone.
The contractor shall be responsible for securing the plant stock, transporting it to the project area, and
planting according to the design. All plant stock shall be sourced from eastern Washington.
Substitutions are allowed based on plant availability, with prior approval from the County.
Tree and shrub locations shown in Appendix B shall be considered approximate. The Contractor shall
lay out and prepare planting areas and receive the County's acceptance of layout and preparation prior
to any installation activities. The Contractor shall stake the location of all trees larger than 1 -inch
RFP: Spring Creek Planting
caliper and the perimeter of all planting areas for acceptance by the County prior to any installation
activities.
All planting areas shall be prepared so that they are weed and debris free at the time of planting.
Planting should occur within two days of final site preparation. Root systems shall be kept covered
and damp at all times. Plant material shall be kept in containers until the time of planting. Plants
should be installed vertically in holes that are three times the root spread and dug to at least the root
depth. All large clods, hard lumps, and rocks 2 inches in diameter and larger, and litter within planting
holes shall be raked up, removed, and disposed of prior to planting. Rootballs should be broken up
and circling roots should be pruned at time of installation. Soil removed from the hole should be used
to backfill it once the plant is installed and mounded around the perimeter of the plant to form a
watering well.
Plants shall be placed with the crown at the finished grade. In their final position, plants shall have
their top true root (not adventitious root) no more than 1 inch below the soil surface, no matter where
that root was located in the original root ball or container. The backfill material, including container
and root ball soil, shall be thoroughly watered on the same day that planting occurs regardless of
season.
Plants shall be pruned at the time of planting, only to remove minor broken or damaged twigs, branches
or roots. Pruning shall be performed with a sharp tool and shall be done in such a manner as to retain or
to encourage natural growth characteristics of the plants.
2) Seeding
The contractor will seed a total of 15.2 acres (Appendix A, Figure 2). Appendix B specifies
hydroseed species mix and application rate per acre of each for each planting zone. The contractor shall
be responsible for securing seed specified, transporting it to the project area, and seeding according to
the design. All seed shall be sourced from eastern Washington. Substitutions are allowed based on
plant availability, with prior approval from the County.
The seed mix (Appendix B, Table 5) shall be applied at a rate of 20 lbs Pure Live Seed /acre. Seeding
shall not be done during windy weather or when the ground is frozen, or excessively wet. Seed will be
applied using a hydroseeder and shall have a tracer added to visibly aid uniform application. The tracer
shall be HECP Short -Term Mulch applied at a rate of 200 to 250 pounds per acre and the tracer shall
carry the measured specified seeding rate.
Prior to planting and seeding efforts in each zone, the sites should be prepped for seeding by
dragging a rake or comparable piece of equipment across all areas to be seeded to increase the
likelihood of seed contact with soil. Seeding shall occur within 2 days of the completion of planting
in zones 1 and 2 and site preparation in Zone 3.
3) Mulch
Bark or wood chip mulch rings shall be applied to the surface of vegetation free soil in the isolated plant
locations where trees and shrubs are planted. Bark or wood chip mulch shall be placed to a uniform
RFP: Spring Creek Planting
non -compacted depth of 3 inches to a radius of 3 feet around all plants within interplanted plant
locations. Areas that are not mulched will be seeded.
Bark or wood chip mulch shall be derived from fir, pine, or hemlock species. It shall not contain resin,
tannin, or other compounds in quantities that would be detrimental to plant life. Sawdust shall not be
used as mulch. Mulch produced from finished wood products or construction debris will not be
allowed.
Mulch shall be feathered to the base of the plant. Any contamination of the mulch due to the
Contractor's operations shall be corrected to its former condition at no additional cost to the County.
Mulch placed to a thickness greater than specified shall be at no additional cost to the County. The
Contractor shall keep plant material crowns, runners, and branches free of mulch at all times.
4) Final Cleanup
All pots, containers, bags, and ties from the planting materials shall be removed from the site and
properly recycled or disposed of.
5) Optional bid items
It is the County's desire to amend soil, provide wildlife exclusionary fencing, and temporary irrigation
for the planted areas. Pricing of these three bid items is requested for potential optional award at the
discretion of the County. The County may elect to optionally expand the baseline award based on
project funding availability. Contractors are encouraged to bid all three options, though it is uncertain
if they will be included in the contract. If contractors wish to suggest an alternative for these options,
they may propose an alternative approach with an associated cost in their proposal. This optional
pricing will not be factored into the evaluation of the apparent low bidder.
a) Soil Amendment
Compost used for soil amendments shall be the result of the biological degradation and
transformation of organic materials under controlled conditions designed to promote aerobic
decomposition. Compost shall be stable with regard to oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide
generation. Compost shall be mature with regard to its suitability for serving as a soil amendment.
The compost shall have a moisture content that has no visible free water or dust produced when
handling the material. Compost shall be fine compost, meeting the following gradation:
Sieve Size
Percent Passing
Minimum Maximum
V.
100
5/8'.
90 100
1/4"
75 100
Compost shall be included in site preparation for holes dug for potted shrubs and trees.
Incorporate approximately 2 inches of compost into existing topsoil to a depth of 8 inches within
each hole. Compost shall not be worked or placed when the ground or compost is frozen, or
RFP: Spring Creek Planting
excessively wet. The Contractor shall protect compost stockpiled for project use to prevent
erosion and weed growth.
Upon completion of topsoil placement, shall not leave any remaining stockpiled compost. the
Contractor shall either, at no additional expense to the County, dispose of or spread compost on
site outside the restoration area at a depth of less than 2 inches.
b) Fencing
Install 8 -foot wildlife exclusionary fencing with access gates along the outer perimeter of Zones 2, 3,
and 4 (Appendix A, Figure 2). Approximately 4,430 linear feet of fence will be needed to fence this
area. The fence and materials used should be expected to remain functional and be in place for a
minimum of 5 years. Fencing materials will become the property of the County and may consist of
materials such as wire or propylene mesh and t -posts.
c) Irrigation
Install above -ground irrigation system for 4.9 acres of planted shrubs and trees in Zones 2 and 3.
Spring Creek will be the water source for irrigation, so a system that connects via mobile pump at
multiple locations is anticipated. A PVC system with risers spaced for adequate coverage is
anticipated. Supplemental irrigation rate is assumed at minimum two inches per week during the
growing season.
Acceptance and Storage of Plant Materials
Live woody or herbaceous plant material shall be vigorous, well formed, with well-developed fibrous
root systems, free from dead branches, and from damage caused by an absence or an excess of heat or
moisture, insects, disease, mechanical or other causes detrimental to good plant development.
Evergreen plants shall be well foliated and of good color.
The Contractor shall notify the County, not less than 48 hours in advance, of plant material delivery to
the project. No plant material shall be planted until it has been inspected and accepted for planting by
the County. Rejected material shall be removed from the project site immediately. No substitution of
plant material, species or variety, will be permitted unless evidence is submitted in writing to the
County that a specified plant cannot be obtained and has been unobtainable since the Award of the
Contract. If substitution is permitted, it can be made only with approval by the County. The nearest
variety, size, and grade, as approved by the County, shall then be furnished.
Plants stored under temporary conditions prior to installation shall be the responsibility of the
contractor. Plants stored on the project shall be protected at all times from extreme weather conditions
by insulating the roots, root balls, or containers with sawdust, soil, compost, bark or wood chips, or
other approved material and shall be kept moist at all times prior to planting.
Completion of Planting and Seeding
Upon completion of the initial planting and seeding within a designated area, the County will make an
inspection of all restoration areas. The County will notify the Contractor, in writing, of any
replacements or corrective action necessary to meet the plant installation and seeding requirements.
RFP: Spring Creek Planting
