POTENTIAL OBJECTION: <br /> There are no known objectors to this item; however, while this type of work is annually <br /> contracted out, it is outside the capability of our in-house operations, it presents an <br /> inordinate risk for employees, and is more economical to contract out. It is conceivable <br /> that the bargaining unit which represents City employees could potentially object to the <br /> use of a contractor, given its past position on such matters. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Forestry Section requested the tree removals and <br /> wrote the bid specifications. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Richard Marley, Public Works Director, 424-2747. Randy <br /> Callison, City Forester, 875-4820. Mr. Marley will be at the meeting to answer questions <br /> the Council may have about this purchase. <br /> BUDGET and STAFFING IMPACT: <br /> The cost to remove these fifteen (15)trees using a private tree removal service is about <br /> $25.91 per diameter inch. The cost for in-house tree removal based on the City's work <br /> order system is about $45.28 per diameter inch. <br /> Attach: 2 <br /> Page 12 <br />
