Specifications and bid sheets were sent to four companies — Precision <br />Landscape and Tree, Rainbow Tree Service, S &S Tree Specialists, and A -Tree Service. <br />Bids were received from Precision Landscape and Tree and S &S Tree Specialists. <br />Precision has been the City's tree services contractor for many years and has always done <br />quality work in a timely fashion. Precision is a local company and its pricing is <br />significantly lower than S &S Tree. Little Canada -based Rainbow Tree did not submit a <br />bid because they didn't think they could complete work in a timely manner. A -Tree <br />Service did not send back a quote after expressing interest in the contract. <br />Based on the pricing and its long history of performing tree - related services for the City, <br />staff recommends awarding the 2014 Tree Services contract to Precision Landscape and <br />Tree. <br />The bid sheets are attached. <br />
