APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with The Davey Tree
Expert Company in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000 to provide on-call tree trimming services, for the period of
November 1, 2014 through October 31, 2017, Countywide. (100% General Fund)
FISCAL IMPACT:
This cost is to be funded through Facilities Services' fiscal year 2014/15, 2015/16, and 2016/17 maintenance budget.
(100% General Fund)
BACKGROUND:
Public Works Facilities Services 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. If approved, Davey Tree Expert Company (Davey Tree) will
assist County staff in performing 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. As bid on BidSync No. 1409-095, Davey Tree Expert Company was the lowest responsible and
responsive vendor, and will become the primary vendor for this commodity. This request is for a three-year contract.
