BACKGROUND
In 2001, the City entered into a one-year contract with True Green Landcare for the provision of
tree maintenance services. This contract allowed for four (4) additional one-year renewable
terms at the option of the City, if mutually agreeable to both parties. This request is for the
second of four possible extensions.
True Green Landcare has provided exceptional service to the City throughout this contracting
period. Their staff is well-qualified and knowledgeable of the City's standards for tree
maintenance and care. The company has been extremely responsive in meeting the City's needs
on both a day-to-day and emergency basis. City staff routinely receives compliments from
citizens regarding the professionalism exhibited by the contractor's crews when working in
residential areas.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Direct staff to re -bid the contract for tree maintenance services, while retaining True
Green Landcare on a month-to-month contract until a new contract is signed.
