TO: ACTING VILLAGE MANAGER DAVID STRAHL
FROM: FORESTRY/GROUNDS SUPERINTENDENT
DATE: MARCH 11, 2015
SUBJECT: BID RESULTS — CDBG PARKWAY TREE FURNISHING AND PLANTING --$25,000
BACKGROUND
Bids were recently opened for the provision and installation of parkway trees using Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds. Bid prices were sought for a wide variety of 1-1/2" to 2-1/2" diameter trees, to be planted in
neighborhoods that qualify for these funds. Trees planted on this project will replace ash trees removed due to EAB
and where there are eligible planting sites.
Bid prices are good for Spring and Fall 2015 planting seasons only. Note that, because of the funding source, this bid
requires the contractor to pay federal prevailing wages as specified in the Davis -Bacon Act.
BID RESULTS
Thirty invitational bids were mailed and a notice to bidders was published in a local newspaper. A mandatory pre-bid
conference was held for interested contractors on February 19, 2015. Sealed bids were opened on March 3, 2015.
Three bids were received; all of these bidders had attended the mandatory pre-bid conference. Bid results are
attached.
DISCUSSION
At this time, we do not know the exact quantity and species we will need to order for the project. However, the
average bid cost per tree is roughly $248.00; therefore, we expect approximately 100 trees will be planted on this
project. The bid specifications were written to allow the contract to be split amongst the low bidders of each species.
All three bidders met our bid requirements. Additionally, two have successfully planted trees for us in the past, and
the third had satisfactory references.
BID RECOMMENDATION
There is a total of $25,000.00 in the 2015 budget for this project. Therefore, I recommend splitting the contract award
to Huffman Landscape, Arthur Weiler, Inc. and to Apex Landscaping. Total expenditures for all purchases will not
exceed $25,000.00 and each tree will be ordered from the lowest bidder for that particular species.
