Council approves tree-spraying contract pending proof of insurance and bonding
Summary
The Wheatland City Council approved a bid from Southeast Wyoming Weed Control to perform tree spraying for the town, contingent on verification of insurance and bonding.
The Wheatland City Council approved a contract with Southeast Wyoming Weed Control to provide tree spraying services, subject to confirmation of insurance and bonding.
Council members said the town previously used Longstreet Service for some tree work; meeting discussion indicated Longstreet will still provide tree injections while the new contractor will handle spraying. One council member emphasized environmental caution, saying that when “you start throwing chemicals out in the environment, you’re probably gonna wanna check on things.”
A motion to accept the contract “pending approval or confirmation of insurance and bonding” was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote. Council asked staff to verify the contractor’s insurance details before the work proceeds.
Next steps: staff will verify the contractor’s insurance and bonding documents and confirm scope of work (spraying versus injections) before authorizing work to begin.
