ITEM 8.D <br /> iinteroffice <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> to: Chuck Whiting . <br /> from: Mary Saarion <br /> subject: Request to award tree trimming bid <br /> date: January 9, 1997 <br /> The 1997 General Fund budget includes the funding for a boulevard tree trimming program which <br /> completes one quadrant of the City each year. This program is necessary because of the density <br /> of overgrowth into the street scapes hindering the passage of emergency and maintenance <br /> vehicles. This overgrowth of boulevard trees need to be trimmed by professional trimmers who <br /> have expertise in correct methods of tree trimming. Forester Wriskey has received bids from two <br /> tree trimming firms that he feels is capable of such as task. Tree trimming will ideally begin the <br /> latter part of January or February (the off-season). The project will take from 1 - 3 weeks <br /> depending on the weather. Forester Wriskey recommends bid award to Precision Tree Inc. The <br /> bid will not exceed the budgeted amount of$8,000. Precision Tree is fully insured and has <br /> worked satisfactorily in the City of Mounds View with prior bid awards. <br /> • Recommendation: Award the bid for boulevard tree trimming for one quadrant of the <br /> City to Precision Tree, Inc. To be funded with 1997 budgeted <br /> monies from fund 100-4380-3303. <br /> III <br />
