AGENDA
MEMO
A resolution accepting a
proposal from D. Ryan Tree & Landscape
LLC.
for hazardous tree removals and stump grinding at a
per unit cost not to exceed $10,000.
BACKGROUND
The current budget includes funds
for hazardous tree removals and stump grindings. To date, City staff has
identified 8 trees (164 inches) that require immediate removal and staff does not
have the ability to remove these trees due to equipment restrictions. A hazard has been defined as a tree with
extensive decay or dead limbs posing a potential hazard to life or property.
Competitive quotes were requested for per unit prices, and Staff received six (6) competitive quotes, (see attachment A). The request for proposals requested pricing to be from May 7, 2010 to April 30, 2011.
