Council approves annual tree trimming contract not to exceed $36,000
Summary
Council approved a four-year tree-trimming plan and authorized this year's trimming work not to exceed $36,000 after staff reviewed three bids and explained the cyclical maintenance approach.
The Bloomfield City Council approved returning to a four-year tree-trimming rotation and authorized tree-trimming work for the coming year with a not-to-exceed amount of $36,000.
S7 explained the scope and rationale: "It's too many for you, so we're going back to this," and told the council staff obtained three bids to ensure competitive pricing. Council discussed oversight during work and how the town was split into sections to keep bids comparable. The motion to approve the annual trimming and the four-year plan passed by council vote.
Staff will oversee the contractor and inspect each circuit annually as described in the bid package.
