Ruiz, City Manager <br />cc: Kurt, Corey, Public Works Director <br />Johnny Medlin, Director, Parks and Open Space Division <br />From: Richard Zucker <br />Subject: One -year Extension of Hazardous Tree Removal <br />Contract Number 2010 -05302 <br />(541) 682 -4800 <br />(541) 682 -4882 Fax <br />www.ci.eugene.or.us/parks <br />This is to a request approval for a one -year extension of the contract that we currently <br />have with CTS, Inc. for the removal of public trees that are assessed to be hazardous <br />because of their health or condition. This will be the first extension of this contract. <br />This contract enables us to manage the urban forest more effectively by providing the <br />needed resources to remove hazardous trees in a timely manner so as to protect public <br />safety. Attached are the current contractor rates and the rates proposed for the extension <br />period. <br />Although the new rates are significantly higher, they are still well within market value and <br />less than the rates that we paid our previous contractor more than a year ago. Thank you. <br />Attachment: Contract Amendment #3 — 2010 -05302 <br />
