Date: March 26, 1987 <br /> To: Arden Hills Council <br /> From: John T. Buckley <br /> Re: Results of 1987 Diseased Tree Removal Bids <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> Advertisement for Diseased Tree Removal bids were published in the New <br /> BriKhton Bulletin on March 11 and 18. Specifications were also mailed to <br /> 15 contractors to help stimulate bidding. <br /> Sealed bids were received from Bluemel Tree, Hudson, WI, Gorecki Trees, <br /> Anoka, MN, and Precision Landscape and Tree, Inc., Little Canada, MN. <br /> Results of the bidding are attached. (See Exhibit A). <br /> Bids were tabulated by applying each bid quotation to the trees identified <br /> as diseased or nuisance in 1986. (See Exhibit A). <br /> Gorecki Trees is the low bidder for 1987. Gorecki Trees has not worked <br /> with us in the past; therefore, I requested and received work references <br /> from the City of Edina (Richard Anderson, 927-8861), the City of <br /> Richfield, (Randy Hughes, 869-7521), and the City of Robbinsdale (John <br /> Stiegler, 537-4534). <br /> . <br /> All references gave the Gorecki Tree Company good recommendations. I <br /> recommend that Gorecki and Company be awarded the Arden Hills' Tree and <br /> Stump Removal Contract for 1987. <br /> When comparing Woodchuck's 1986 bid proposal with Gorecki's 1987 bid <br /> proposal, it appears tree removal cost could decrease by approximately <br /> 3.2%. That should be good news for our residents. <br /> . <br />
