We put out a Bid for tree removal and relocation for 174th <br /> Street,and we received bids in the amount of$128,000 up to over$300,000. We contacted <br /> Luke's to see what kind of number they would offer us and they had indicated that they bid <br /> the project and gave the number of$74,000 to Green Source Landscaping. We asked how <br /> this lines up with our maintenance agreement and they said it lines up perfectly,and so they <br /> gave us the number and a proposal. When we reached out to them,they said the maintenance <br /> number,which was over$4,000,would not be charged to the City,and so it dropped down to <br /> about $59,000 which is about $53,000 less than the lowest bid that we had received. <br /> Public Speakers: None <br /> Vice Mayor Aelion moved and Commissioner Gatto seconded a motion to approve the <br /> resolution.

The only thing that could come up is if we get a project that we were <br /> not aware of, for example this issue at Heritage Park.
