A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE
CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 7 TO THE 2013-2015
TREE MAINTENANCE CONTRACT WITH WEST COAST
ARBORISTS, INC., OF ANAHEIM
WHEREAS, the current two-year tree maintenance contract was publically bid in
May 2013 and awarded by City Council on June 19, 2013, to the lowest (and only)
bidder, West Coast Arborists, Inc. The project was awarded with an initial contract
amount of $178,000, based on the estimated bid quantity; and
WHEREAS, since the original contract was executed, additional amounts have
been added by change orders for the Parks Department ($54,630) and the 2014/15
Fiscal Year ($178,000); and
WHEREAS, the approved budget for the 2014/15 Fiscal Year has an additional
$50,000 allocated in the Streets Operating account for additional tree maintenance; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends approval of Change Order No. 7 to complete
additional maintenance that is needed and to maintain a sufficient contract balance to
cover emergency responses that are typical during winter storms. Delaying
maintenance would likely result in additional emergency calls during this winter and a
higher risk of tree -related damages.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 7 to the 2013-2015 Tree
Maintenance contract with West Coast Arborists, Inc., of Anaheim, California, in the
amount of $50,000.
