Council approves $105,000 change order for storm cleanup; staff pursuing FEMA reimbursement
Summary
Council approved Change Order No.1 for Clifton Tree Service to cover additional root‑ball and stump removal from December storm cleanup, increasing the contract by $105,000 to a $135,000 not‑to‑exceed amount; staff said FEMA reimbursement is being pursued.
Staff presented Change Order No.1 for Clifton Tree Service to account for additional work following December storm cleanup — specifically root balls and tree stump removal in city rights‑of‑way. The change order increases the contract by $105,000 for a total not‑to‑exceed $135,000; staff said the work is complete and the change order authorizes payment for that additional scope.
Councilmembers asked whether the cost will be eligible for FEMA reimbursement. Staff reported ongoing weekly meetings with FEMA to document reimbursable costs and said there is potential for partial reimbursement but that final amounts remain subject to FEMA review. The council moved, seconded and passed the change order unanimously.
