Analysis
This agreement is to prune trees and bushes, remove trees and bushes and grind stumps as needed throughout the City. This agreement will be primary used by Streets but other departments, including Water and Parks may use it as well. It will also be used as a backup for storm damage cleanup.
Notice of bid #21038 was advertised in the Fort Worth Star Telegram and Public Purchase; it was distributed to 12 vendors. There were two Grand Prairie and three HUB vendors available for this commodity. Two bids were received as shown on attachment A. None of the local or HUB vendors responded.
The low bid received from Arbor Masters meets specifications and is recommended for award.
Financial Consideration
Funds are available in various departments operating budgets and will be charged accordingly on orders through the end of the fiscal year. Funding for future fiscal years will be paid from that year’s approved budgets.
