Summary

Trustees authorized an RFQ award to Earthcare Incorporated for street-tree maintenance totaling $47,950 and authorized the mayor to execute related agreements after attorney review.

The Board approved an RFQ award to Earthcare Incorporated for street-tree maintenance at a contract amount of $47,950 and authorized the mayor to execute agreements subject to village-attorney approval. The motion was approved by voice vote.

Public comments earlier in the meeting had asked how residents request stump grinding or individual tree maintenance; the mayor said downtown RFQ work is focused on grant-funded downtown projects while routine street-tree maintenance requests for residential areas follow a separate DPW process. Staff said they will follow up with residents who request stump grinding or removals to assess whether trees are street trees (between sidewalk and roadway) and to schedule work under the new contract.
