DATE:
June 10, 2002
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU:
John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM:
Doug Danes, P. E. Director of Public Works/ City Engineer
SUBJECT:
APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR
CITYWIDE TREE TRIMMING SERVICES
SUMMARY OF REOUEST:
The proposed City Council action will approve the plans and specifications and authorize
staff to initiate the bid process so that a contract may be awarded for citywide tree
trimming services.
Although the Parks Recreation and Community Service Department originally bid this
contract last year, modifications to the documents were necessary due to the prescribed
licensing requirements. Public Works staff have completed the plans and specifications.*
This contract will provide citywide tree trimming services on a per tree basis as well as
unit prices for tree removals, planting, recycling of greenwaste and updates to the tree
inventory. The City had approximately 4,500 street trees and assumed responsibility for
trimming the trees at Old Ranch Townhomes this past year. Based on last year's bid price
of $40 per tree, trees will be trimmed on a 5 to 6 year cycle although certain trees may
need to be trimmed more frequently for safety requirements while others may need to be
trimmed less. As the Engineering Division's Geographic Information System (GIS) is
refined with the aide of the Tree Advisory Board, a multi -year trimming program plan
map will be presented to Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Currently, the City projects revenues from the tree- trimming fee at $33,000 per year. Tree
trimming cycles will be adjusted as necessary to stay within this limitation as budgeted in
account 001 -049- 40800.

RECOMMENDATION:
