Village authorizes procurement and planting of roughly 10 trees after emerald ash borer recovery
Summary
Trustees authorized Public Works to solicit quotes and contract for purchase and planting of approximately 10 trees, noting the tree budget has been reduced from historic levels after response to emerald ash borer.
Trustees authorized Public Works to collect quotes for purchase and planting of approximately 10 trees and to award the work to the lowest responsive bidder.
Staff noted that the program has been scaled down from earlier years because the village largely addressed the emerald ash borer problem and budgets were reduced; "This year, it was reduced for budget reasons. It's about 10 trees," staff said. The motion to solicit quotes and proceed was approved by roll call.
Work is expected to proceed in the fall; staff will return contractor proposals and execution plans for work to be completed according to the selected bid.
