Parks staff will be performing the stump grinding and <br />restoration work on the contracted trees as well in an effort to keep costs down. <br />CONTRACTOR <br />TOTAL QUOTE <br />YTS Companies, LLC. <br />$ 9,350 <br />Upper Cut Tree Service <br />$15,700 <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 22-153, accepting quotes and awarding an ash tree <br />removal contract in the amount of $9,350 to YTS Companies, LLC. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
