Council approves $49,335 Roots Tree Service contract to remove 22 trees using fuel-tax funds
Summary
Lebanon City Council approved a single bid from Roots Tree Service to remove 22 trees for $49,335 using motor-fuel funds; the engineer's estimate was $79,200. Roll-call votes recorded five "Yes" and one "No."
The Lebanon City Council voted to accept a single low bid from Roots Tree Service to remove 22 trees under a motor-fuel-funded contract for $49,335, significantly below the engineer's estimate of $79,200. The item was presented under unfinished business; council moved and seconded to accept the bid.
During roll call the named vote recorded "Yes" from Washington, Delke, Bennett, Farrow and Marcinkowski, and a "No" from Smith. The motion carried and staff will proceed to contract administration consistent with city purchasing policy.
The council discussion noted that only one bid was received and that, per city policy, even small projects go out to bid. Council members asked administrative questions about inspection and scope; staff said required paperwork and the inspector's report would be completed as part of award and contracting.
Next steps: staff will finalize contract documents and notify the successful bidder so work can be scheduled under the motor-fuel funding authorization.
