RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to ProCare Tree Service, Inc. for Class I fine pruning of
trees at the Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park in the amount of $13,951.
DISCUSSION
The pa.rks, Recreation and Community Services Agency is pruning the trees
located at the Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park. Pruning the trees restores
their visual appearance, removes any safety hazards and is part of a normal
maintenance program designed to keep the trees healthy. An International
Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist will supervise the Class I fine
pruning of the City trees.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on July 7 and 10, 2006, and bids
were solicited. A summary of the bid invitations and bids received is as
follows:
17 Invitations For Bid mailed
5 Invitations For Bid mailed to Santa Ana vendors
4 Bids received
1 Bid received from a Santa Ana vendor
Bids were received, opened on August 2, 2006, and evaluated (Exhibit 1).
The bid received from ProCare Tree Service, Inc. is responsive to the
specification and meets the City's requirements. The variance in price
between the bid from Valley Crest, a Santa Ana vendor, and the others is
due almost entirely to higher quoted disposal fees. Staff contacted Valley
Crest and they stand by their bid.
