Summary

The Board of Public Works voted to seek bids for the city’s annual street tree planting contract with a pre-bid estimate of $85,000; the contract covers installation for new subdivisions and replacements following reconstruction.

The City of West Bend Board of Public Works authorized staff Monday to solicit bids for the city’s annual street tree planting contract (contract 25‑07, tree surety 2026).

Staff member Mike told the board the contract covers furnishing and installing trees in new residential subdivisions and replacement trees following street reconstruction and supports the free street-tree program. Mike said the pre‑bid estimate is $85,000 and that the timing of bidding in late fall typically produces better pricing for spring planting.

The board approved proceeding to bid by voice vote. Members asked only clarifying questions about whether the agenda language should reflect 2026 rather than prior contract years; staff said it was a typographical/formatting issue and not substantive.

The bid will be brought back to the board for award after proposals are received and reviewed.
