BACKGROUND <br /> WCA was originally selected in May 2000 to complete the City's annual tree trimming <br /> and removal services contract and to conduct the City's first tree inventory. WCA was <br /> again awarded a contract with the City to provide tree trimming, removal, and inventory <br /> management services on June 2, 2015 after successfully completing a Request for <br /> Proposal (RFP) process. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> In order for WCA to accomplish city-wide tree trimming, the City is divided into eight <br /> districts. Each district has a complete tree inventory detailing the history of tree <br /> trimming, cost of each trimming, size of the tree, and value of the tree. Although all of <br /> the trees along Main Street and throughout the downtown are trimmed annually, a <br /> complete tree trimming cycle throughout the entire City is performed on a four to five <br /> year cycle. <br /> In addition to providing tree trimming services for the Parks Division, WCA provides <br /> services to the Engineering Department. Out of the annual contract approximately <br /> $55,000 is utilized by the Engineering Department for tree trimming to clear City trees in <br /> preparation for the annual street resurfacing project and the City's Heritage Tree <br /> Program. The remaining budget is used to maintain approximately 24,500 City trees <br /> located in parks, median, parking strips, and facility landscapes. <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approved,by: <br /> !cc�o, A 44._ /Nik <br /> Kathleen Yurchak Tina Olson Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Operations and Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Water Utilities <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
