Council awards stump-grinding contract to Eager Beaver, not to exceed $35,000
Summary
After revising specifications to unit pricing by stump diameter, staff recommended awarding stump-grinding work to Eager Beaver Stump Grinding as the low bidder; council approved a contract not to exceed $35,000.
City staff revised the stump-grinding specifications this year to include unit prices based on stump diameter and root size so bids account for variable stump sizes rather than a per-stump flat fee. Two bidders responded; Eager Beaver Stump Grinding was the low bidder and staff recommended awarding the work to them. Council approved the contract with a not-to-exceed amount of $35,000.
Staff said the contract will allow crews to begin taking out stumps throughout the city and that the work addresses backlog on streets that have not had recent tree work. The contract uses the unit-pricing approach to ensure fairer pricing for larger-diameter stumps.
