Summary
Ordinance No. 26‑032 authorizes bidding and contracting for tree trimming and removal to clear transmission and distribution lines (Sections 1 and T1); the bid packet includes maps, a vendor contact list, clearance guidelines, and an engineer estimate of $225,000.
WADSWORTH — Ordinance No. 26‑032 (sponsored by Council Member Tom Stugmyer) authorizes the Director of Public Service to advertise for and entering into a contract for tree trimming and tree removal necessary for electric line clearance. The legislation identifies work to be performed by section (Distribution Section 1 and Transmission Section T1) and includes maps for Wadsworth Light & Power.
The packet includes a vendor contact list, transmission and distribution clearance guidelines, and bidding instructions. The engineer's estimate for the transmission and distribution line clearance work is $225,000 and the ordinance states no contract shall be entered into if the price would exceed 10% above the estimate. The packet notes that transmission facilities will not be de‑energized during trimming and identifies Tim Parrish as the contact for questions. The ordinance is framed as an emergency to expedite tree removals that the city's electric utility deems necessary for safe, reliable operation.
