Monies received into the Tree Escrow Fund must be spent within seven years of receipt. Chapter 167 (J)(4)(c)(i) of the UDC states, "Money contributed under this section: May be used for canopy mitigation, including planting site identification, tree acquisition, planting, and maintenance utilizing either City Staff or contract labor." Approximately 531 trees have been planted over the last two years from the Tree Escrow Fund and should be regularly maintained for three years in effort to ensure healthy establishment.

Three vendors bid the project including All Around Landscaping, Inc., Blades Landscaping and B & A Property Maintenance. Blades Landscaping was the apparent low bidder but was disqualified for submitting an unbalanced bid and failure to register as a plan holder on the project. B & A Property Maintenance was the next qualified low bid in the amount of $75,237 annually. If the contract is approved, trees will be maintained begininng in March, 2012 through March 2015. RECOMMENDATION: A resolution awarding Bid #12-15 and approval of a contract with B & A Property Maintenance in the amount of $75,237 annually for a maximum of three years for a total of $225,713 plus a 5% project contingency in the amount of $11,286 for a total project cost of $236,999 for the maintenance of trees.
