AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY

ITEM SUMMARY:

Consider approval of the Tree Trimming and Removal Services to Southern Pride Tree Care & Removal as primary and JTH Coleman Group dba Tatum Tree Care as secondary service for the Public Works and Utilities Department. Dr. Brant D. Keller will address.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS OR CONCERNS:

The city of Griffin bids out its tree service contract every 4 years. It has a one year life with an option for renewal annually for 3 more years. This is done to keep the cost of the life of the agreement confirmed for 4 years. Southern Pride Tree Care & Removal was the lowest and responsive bid with Tatum Tree Care as second.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Each year as part of the Public Works and Utilities budget, funds are appropriated and funded for this service.
