Re: 2015 Stump Grinding Project
Background: Last Winter staff performed tree trimming and removal along sections of
roadway. The stumps from this work should be removed to eliminate
hazards. Staff solicited bids from four contractors but only received two
bids for this project. B & B Stump Removal was $6,000 and Haaven
Stump Removal was $10,000. The contractor is required to spread the
woodchips when finished.
Proposal: Staff is proposing to award the 2015 Stump Grinding Project to B & B
Stump Removal for $6,000.
Issue: Should stump grinding occur?
Fiscal Impact: The 2015 operating budget has $330,000 for contractual road
maintenance.
Options: 1) Award the 2015 Stump Grinding Project to B & B Stump Removal for
$6,000.
2) Do not award the 2015 Stump Grinding Project.
3) Other options.
Recommendation: Option 1
