Rye Brook awards multi-year tree care contract to Olmstead; board authorizes up to five-year renewals
Summary
Trustees awarded the village tree pruning, removal and stump-grinding contract to Olmstead Tree Shrub and Lawn Company as the lowest responsive bidder and authorized renewal for up to five years; the base bid amount in the record was unclear
The Village of Rye Brook Board of Trustees on May 27 awarded contract 25-03 for village tree pruning, removal and associated work to Olmstead Tree Shrub and Lawn Company of New Rochelle as the lowest bidder meeting requirements, and authorized the contract to be renewed annually for up to five years.
Village staff said four bids were opened on May 20 and that Olmstead was the lowest responsive bidder after review by the village administrator and engineer. The resolution authorizes the mayor and village administrator to execute the contract and noted alternates A and B were included. During the meeting staff warned trustees that tree work and removals represent a meaningful capital and operating cost and that maintaining street trees is important.
The transcript includes a numerical base-bid figure that was not clearly recorded; the minutes and contract documents should be consulted for the exact dollar amount. The board voted to approve the award and trustees recorded their votes in favor at the May 27 meeting.
