The winning contractor from 2016 is <br />based in Southern California and did not bid on this current project. <br />Analysis <br />The proposed contract price reflects a 152% increase over the last bid issued three years ago, <br />but is also 73% cheaper than the second-lowest current bidder. Because tree trimming pricing <br />has increased in the intervening years, and in order to stay within budget, the total number of trees <br />included has been reduced by approximately half (i.e. from 1,192 to 563). <br />Budget Authority <br />If the contract is authorized by the City Council, Staff will execute a purchase order for $70,375 <br />for FY2020 in account 010-33-001-5340. There is sufficient budget in the account for this <br />contract. No additional appropriations are requested. <br />ATTACHMENT <br />Attachment to Related Legislative Files <br />Attached to Resolution: <br />o Non-Professional Services Agreement between the City of San Leandro and Arborist <br />New, Inc. for Boulevard Sycamore Tree Trimming <br />PREPARED BY: Debbie Pollart, Director, Public Works Department <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 2/12/2020 <br />40
