File Number: 22-557 The City does not have the proper equipment nor staffing to do this work in-house. There are also three mature trees located within the park that staff is proposing to have the contractor trim according to International Arboriculture Society (ISA) standards. One of the trees has had large limbs fall in the past few years. Analysis To minimize potential property damage and/or harm to park visitors/nearby residents from tree failures, a competitive bid (Bid No. 22-23.004) was issued on August 2, 2022. A mandatory walk-thru was held on August 11th, and bids closed on August 31st. Five responsive bids were received, and Hamilton Tree Service was the lowest bidder. The bid asked for two different price options for the eucalyptus trees, as staff was unsure whether the available budget would be adequate for this work. In addition, the bid included trimming of three trees and removal of one tree in Memorial Park. For the tree removal, Hamilton Tree Service had the highest unit price, so staff won’t be including it in the NPSA and will have the work performed by another contractor. This work will include ‘topping’ the row of eucalyptus trees to an approximate height of 30’ above grade. All work will be performed from the park property (no equipment is allowed in San Leandro Creek), and the contractor has been instructed to remove any large branches that fall into San Leandro Creek during this work, so that future water flow during the rainy season isn’t impacted. Financial Impacts Sufficient funds are included in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 General Fund budget Account 010-33-001-5340 for tree trimming . This Council action will not impact fund balance because there are funds available in the FY2022-2023 adopted budget.
