January 4, 2018 Subject: FY17~18Street Tree Removal Project Quotes.

$10,420.

This year,

the

Village

received

2quotes for our street tree

removal

project

(copies

ofquotes

attached). There were 14 trees and 1additional stump included in the original

RfQs

(copy attached), and we added 2additional trees prior to the bid due date. Thequotes are:

0 Knisel’sTree Service (Sand Creek), for

$10,420.

0

Mark's

Tree Service (Pinkney),

for $10,700.

There

are

sufficient funds

inthe budget for this work— it

will

come from the street

maintenance allocations in the Major and LocalStreet Funds.

Also,

Knisel’sTree Service has been the

Village's

tree removal contractor

for

most of the

last

several years.

They

have done

a

good job in

that

capacity.

Thus,

my

recommendation.

FYI,the

RfQ’s

stipulate that the project be completed by April 6. Please review

this

information,

as it ison

the

agenda

for

the January 8 Councilmeeting. ifyou have any

questions, please let me know.
