Hamilton County awards tree-trimming contract to Lumberjack’s Tree Service
Summary
The commission approved a one-year contract, with options to renew, to Lumberjack’s Tree Service for county tree trimming and removal after a public bid; county staff said the award followed a competitive process.
Hamilton County accepted the bid from Lumberjack’s Tree Service for a one-year county contract for tree trimming and removal services, with the option to renew for up to three additional one-year terms. The contract period begins July 15, 2025, and runs through July 14, 2026, under Resolution 7 25 dash 7.
Commissioner Smith moved approval and Commissioner Beck seconded. Commissioner Mackey asked why the county changed vendors; county staff member Mr. Lehman answered that the prior contract had expired, a new public bid was issued and this award was deemed the best of the responses. The commission approved the resolution by roll call, with all members voting yes.
The resolution covers tree trimming and removal for various county departments and authorizes the county mayor to sign necessary contracts. The meeting record does not include contract pricing or the names of the prior contractor; the procurement explanation provided by staff was limited to noting a public bid process.
