Briarcliffe Acres opens single bid for canopy trimming; award scheduled April 6
Summary
The Town opened Bid Package #2026.01 for canopy and rights‑of‑way trimming and debris collection; one bid from Vereen Tree Service quoted $9,000 for trimming and $200 per ton for debris disposal. The Council will consider award at a special meeting on April 6.
The Briarcliffe Acres Town Council opened a single bid on March 16 for Bid Package #2026.01, a Fire‑Wise program to trim tree canopies and rights of way and remove resulting debris. The bid process produced one proposal from Vereen Tree Service, LLC: Phase 1 (trimming) was quoted at $9,000 and Phase 2 (debris taken to the landfill) at $200.00 per ton.
Council members reviewed the bid tabulation and were told the formal award will occur at a Bid Award Meeting set for April 6. Mayor Dave Buonviri and Mayor Pro Tempore Peggy Bell were involved in the tabulation and scheduling discussion. The bid package is intended to reduce canopy hazards and manage vegetative debris along rights of way under the Town’s Fire‑Wise program.
The narrow field of bidders leaves the Council with a choice to accept the single responsive bid, re‑solicit bids, or seek negotiated alternatives before the April award meeting. The minutes do not record a formal motion or vote on the opening itself; Council discussion focused on procedural next steps.
If awarded as submitted, the Phase 1 trimming contract would be executed with Vereen Tree Service and Phase 2 work would be paid based on tonnage hauled at the quoted landfill rate. The Town will report the formal award decision after the April 6 meeting.
