BACKGROUND
Jeff Kolin
Project
It has been one year since Council has awarded a Comprehensive •street tree
pruning contract to the successful bidder, Golden Bear Arborist, Inc. They have
successfully performed and completed the work to the satisfaction of the Parks
and Recreation Department within the fiscal year 1989-90.
The Parks and Recreation Department has since prepared a Comprehensive Street
Tree Pruning Contract for fiscal year 1990-91. The contract entails the
trimming and performing of other miscellaneous tree services for approximately
4,000 street trees, which represents approximately 1/4 of the total street trees
in the City.
It is our goal to prune and service all the trees within the City on a four-year
cycle. In addition, the contract will require a full-time tree crew and
equipment on-site within the City throughout the duration of the contract,
twelve months. Specifications and contractrequirementsare on file at the City
Clerk's office.
The Parks and Recreation Department is seeking approval from Council to
advertise to bid for the 1990-91 Tree Pruning Contract.
The budget for this project is $230,000.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Parks and Recreation
Department to proceed and advertise for bids on the street tree pruning project.
