Meeting Date: 3/8/95 <br /> Agenda Item: C 3 <br /> CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> ITEM DESCRIPTION: Awarding contracts for tree removal and tree <br /> trimming for 1995 <br /> SUBMITTED BY: Linda Treeful, City Forester <br /> REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator <br /> EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: <br /> In order to replenish and maintain the city's valuable tree <br /> resource, a portion of the annual budget is devoted to tree <br /> planting, removal and trimming. In 1994, the combined budget for <br /> tree removal and tree trimming was $12,000. Tree removal costs <br /> vary year to year depending on the number of diseased and storm <br /> damaged trees. Tree trimming costs are based on the area to be <br /> trimmed as indicated by the Five Year Trimming Schedule. In <br /> 1994, the city spent $15,495.90 on tree trimming and removal; <br /> $4,000 for trimming was from an Urban and Community Forestry <br /> Challenge Grant. <br /> The city requested cost proposals from tree firms for the 1995 <br /> tree removal and tree trimming program. Four firms responded <br /> with proposals, as shown below. <br /> Tree Removal Cost Proposals for 1995 <br /> Tree Service 0 -9.9" 10- 19.9" 20- 29.9" 30 <br /> S &S Tree Specialists 4.00 12.00 14.00 15.00 <br /> Precision Tree Co. 2.70 8.88 13.00 14.50 <br /> Ceres Tree Co. 4.00 11.00 13.75 14.75 <br /> Midwest Tree Technology 5.00 12.00 15.00 16.00 <br /> Tree Trimming Cost Proposals for 1995 <br /> Tree Service 0 -9.9" 10- 19.9" 20- 29.9" 30 <br /> S &S Tree Specialists 2.49 3.90 4.49 5.70 <br /> Precision Tree Co. 2.00 2.90 4.44 5.55 <br /> Ceres Tree Co. 2.45 3.85 4.49 5.60 <br /> Midwest Tree Technology 2.49 3.80 4.49 5.70 <br />
