During 2018 I commissioned and project managed
a tree survey program to re-survey 10 political wards within Telford &
Wrekin Council. The resulting data was to be imported into the Confirm software which was to be
installed at the end of 2018.
The project was complicated by two previous
surveys which had been carried out in 2014 and 2015. Both of these surveys had
been commissioned without differing survey criteria. This resulted in data
which could not be easily compared to create a unified history.
Tendering for the project was carried out via
a digital web portal with a detailed tender document containing precise survey
criteria and the format in which the data was to be returned.
The contract was completed within a six month
time period.
Before the survey began I completed a project
to merge the previous two surveys into one to create unique ID's for each
asset. This unique ID was then used in the 2018 survey to enable the records to
be linked within the Confirm software.
Following the survey a programme of work was
released to the contractor to action the recommendations.
This is the second time I have tendered,
commission and project managed a tree survey program. This successful project
was for Stafford Borough Council and a contract value of £100,000.
