The sheet splits removal into three diameter bands for each land type: 6.0 to 15.9 in DBH, 16.0 to 30.0 in DBH and over 30 in DBH. Stump grinding and removal has the same three bands for developed lands only. Debris removal is a separate line, priced per each, once for tree removal and once for stump grinding in developed lands, and once for tree removal in undeveloped lands. The estimated quantities are the county's: 15, 15 and 6 trees for the three developed bands, and 6, 12 and 6 for the undeveloped bands.

The tax line is 8.4 percent of the sub-total for each bidder.
