At project completion, the Contractor shall remove all protections and properly dispose of orrecycle them.3 .6 PLANT APPRAISALA. If the Contractor destroys or injures trees and shrubs designated for protection or outside of theperimeter work limits, the Contractor will be assessed damages prior to final progress payment.B. Replacement costs for damaged vegetation will be computed according to the method describedin the International Society of Arboriculture's 1992 Guide for Plant Appraisal. This method isbased on the cost of the largest commonly available tree or shrub, with modifications based onspecies value, condition and location. A trained arborist or professional plant appraiser from theCalifornia region will be hired by the Contractor to make the damage appraisal. The arborist'sfees will be included in the damage assessment. The damage assessment will be done as thedamage occurs.C. The damage appraisal process will be triggered by any of the following types of damage tovegetation outside of the perimeter work limits or fenced or otherwise protected areas of soil orvegetation within the perimeter work limits:1.

Removal or fracture of any limb greater than 12 inches in diameter.5. Bark damage or removal around more than 20% of the trunk circumference.6. Trenching or soil disturbance within the critical root zone that is deeper than 6 inches.7. If the damaged vegetation is protected under the Endangered Species Act or other speciallegislation, additional penalties may be assessed.8. Pruning or removal of vegetation when authorized and supervised by the ContractingOfficer is excepted from these penalties.01120-302/08 NATURAL FEATURES PROT<strong>EC</strong>TION


D. Minor cuts and damaged areas shall be treated in accordance with tree and plant repair practicesspecified by the National Arborist Association, the International Society of Arboriculture, or aqualified arborist.3 .7 PLANT APPRAISAL METHOD (TRUNK FORMULA METHOD)A. The following sample appraisal is based on the Trunk Formula Method, established by theInternational Society of Arboriculture, in 1992. This formula can be applied to trees and verylarge shrubs, or multi-stemmed trees. It is based on the size, species, condition and location ofthe plant that was injured or destroyed.1. Size: For the purpose of appraisal, size is determined by the area of trunk, usually atbreast height (or 4.5 feet), calculated by diameter or circumference measurement.Example for a 24" diameter trunk: 24" divided by 2 = 12" radius, X = 3.14, Xr²= area ofa circle, 3.14(12²) = 452"2. Modifications to measuring technique will occur in the case of multi-stemmed trees, treeswith major branches lower than breast height, etc.3. Species: A rating is given for each species, depending on the region in which it is living.The International Society of Arboriculture has a number of regional chapters that havegenerated species rating lists. Ratings are based on some of the following factors: climateadaptability, growth characteristics, soil adaptability, resistance to disease and insects,maintenance requirements, aesthetic and general functional values, and rarity.4. Condition: A rating is given for the general condition of the plant which involves healthand structural integrity. See the "Guide to Judging Plant Condition", following.5. Location: A rating is given for the location of the plant and includes site, placement, andfunctional and aesthetic contributions.B. The Trunk Formula Method is based on the following equation:Appraised Value = Basic Value x Condition x LocationBasic Value = Replacement Cost + (Basic Price x [TA A - TA R ]) x Species1. Replacement Cost = maximum size commonly available from local or regional nurseries,usually around 4" diameter. The cost includes the average cost (from 3 nurseries, min.),transportation and installation, guarantee and profit.2. Basic Price = cost per unit of trunk area of replacement tree (cost may be wholesale,retail, or installed).3. TA A = Trunk area at breast height of tree being appraised.4. TA R = Trunk area at 12" from base of largest commonly available tree.5. Species, Condition and Location = ratings of the appraised tree.END OF S<strong>EC</strong>TION01120-402/08 NATURAL FEATURES PROT<strong>EC</strong>TION
