Rolfe to seek competitive bids to remove nearly 160 ash trees; council requests stump-grinding option
Summary
The Rolfe City Council authorized staff to solicit competitive bids to remove about 160 ash trees marked with orange paint, requesting two bid formats: one including stump grinding and one leaving stumps for later removal.
The Rolfe City Council on March 10 voted to solicit competitive bids to remove nearly 160 ash trees that have been marked in the city.
Mayor Jim Pentico reported that almost 160 ash trees had been marked with orange paint for removal. Councilmember Aaron Cox moved and Dan Allen seconded a motion asking staff to accept competitive bids in two formats: one bid that includes grinding the stumps and one that leaves a portion of each stump for later removal. The motion carried with all ayes.
Council did not specify funding sources or a timeline beyond the bid solicitation; contractors interested in submitting proposals should watch for the city's bidding instructions once they are posted.
