AGENDA SEC7lpN" <br />�;ePaRTS R��U RECOr•ii�1�NUAT103aS <br />ITE�'� N0� <br />r <br />!�• - <br />ITEM pESCRIPTION' <br />���u���r Fo� cou�c��. �cr���� <br />ATIPlG DEPT. /DfV.: <br />Pf1BLIC t�4RKS <br />�.g�s DISEI�SED rx�� coN�x�.c•r i�-�s-i <br />DAT�: <br />3/13/78 <br />f]EPT. liEAD APPROVAL. <br />��F�,, <br />MGf2. R�VIEWE�/RECOMtvtENDS: <br />As in the past the city in 1978 wi11 be utilizing private tree removal fircas ta <br />take out the t�ees and stumps from oak wilt and butch elm trees. �his year it <br />is anticipated �ha� the number af trees may we11, increase frorn �he 19fl0 found <br />in 7.977 to approxirnately 450�. If this happens appraxima�ely �i0% are an�icipated <br />to be removed by contrac�ors hi�x'ed Uy the city. Based on past experience the <br />remaind.er will be taken down by the propexty owners themseives ar by o�her con- <br />trac�ors.hired directly by the awners. <br />�t is pxoposed that this year there be t�ao contracfis ta remove these diseased <br />trees. Part A wauld be for the anticipated 500 trees that would be on the street <br />rights of wa� or on city propexty. Part I3 would be the estimated 2,OD0 trees to <br />be removed an private]�y oc+med l.and. Bids �aere therefore received fox the tree <br />and stump rernoval for each of these par�s. As c.an be seen by the bids below <br />three bids were received to recnove the city trees and only a sirig�e bid received <br />an the private trees. The iow bidder for part A-- Kermit�s Tree SeYVi.ce had an <br />irre4ulariCy in the bidc�ing process in that he did not submit his bid bond �aith <br />his px'opasalo The 6ond was suppl.ied subsequently, however, and the tna�ter has <br />heen reviewed by the at[orneys who feel that as set forth in t?-ie bid documents <br />the city may waive minor i.rreQularzties if it �aishes. �ince there is �alr.iost <br />$2.00 per inch difference in bi.ds, and the fact that contact wi.th ather cocnm�nities <br />�aho hired �his firm last year resul�ed in good recommen�ations, it is_our recommend- <br />atzan that the city should acaard the contract to this firm. I� should also be notect <br />that this bid is approYimately 9% under that paxd last yeax by the city fox co�gar- <br />able worko <br />Part B had i.�s lone� bid from the St. Paul Tree Contractors. TYcis is a consoxriut� <br />o� si� contracCi.ng firms, i.n�l.uding I3redwell who had the contract for this work <br />with the city Zast year. Based pn pas� experience it is again recammended that <br />ehe contrac� be a�aardec�. This is not�aithstanding the fact that the bid is up <br />�rom the $7013 average pai.d £or the waric last year. <br />�'he Council I'm sure s,rould be interes�ed to kno�a that in addition to the normal <br />rising costs of dvi.ng such taork a major part of the in.crease is the result of <br />not having goo� di.sposal. sites avGzlabl� �,Thich are accep�able to the contract-ors, <br />gove�nmental. ag?ncies or citi.zens. The currently pro�osed dxspasal site in <br />Shoreview carries very severe restrictzons �s ta sort�ng of the nat�ri�Ls received. <br />Anakher probleGi that limited the number oi bidders was the face tinat the city r�- <br />quix'ed a performance bond to insure that the contraetor does not �ake on th� wor� <br />and th�n nat �ulfill his responsibilitiesa This could leave fihe ci�y with na one <br />to remove the diseased trees after they are marked and the ae��ners no�z£i�d. An <br />altertiative �o the second prablern would be to elirtina�e the bQnd, Eahi�h could <br />resul�. in almast ar�yone supplying a 1ow bid and ther. pulli:tg a�t in �he r�iddle <br />o£ the year. t•Je couLd also bzeak �he worl� up izito contracts o� Z�D to 30C trees, <br />svhi.c?�� nay zesu�.t in as many as ten con�r.actors �aark�ng sirst�lta«eously in the <br />cornmunit�T.
