HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 06032014 - C.112RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with the Davey Tree
Expert Company ("Davey Tree") in an amount not to exceed $250,000, to provide on-call tree trimming services for
the period of April 1, 2014 through July 31, 2014, Countywide. (100% General Fund)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of on-call tree trimming is being funded 100% by the General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Public Works Facilities Management is responsible for maintaining the grounds around County facilities. Tree
maintenance and trimming are an important part of this maintenance. The County does not currently have enough
staff to complete the amount of tree trimming required this spring. Davey Tree has been asked to assist County staff
in completing this maintenance. Davey Tree offers national U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) contract
pricing. These contracts are used by the State of California and most regional utilities needing tree maintenance. This
request is for a four-month contract, at which time a Bidsync solicitation will be completed for a three-year contract.
