Board approves $13,500 contract to remove ash trees at football track
Summary
The board awarded Boyum Tree Service a $13,500 contract to remove dying ash trees, grind stumps and prepare the area for spring seeding at the district football track; board members said winter timing makes the work efficient.
Board members approved a facilities contract for removal of dying ash trees at the football track and related stump grinding and site preparation for seeding. The recommendation came after bids and a comparison of quotes; the chosen vendor, Boyum Tree Service of Owatonna, was recommended at a price of $13,500 for removal, stump grinding and excavation to leave the site seed-ready.
A motion to approve the contract was moved and seconded and passed 6'0to'00. Board members noted that winter is an efficient time for the work and that many of the district's ash trees are dead or dying and need removal now to avoid higher costs later.
