AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT:
Consideration and possible action to renew the contract
between the City of Georgetown and National Tree Expert Company,
Inc., to provide electric system right-of-way clearing services.
ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff recommends Council approval to renew the contract with
National Tree Expert Company, Inc. to provide electric system
right -of -way -clearing services. The contract allows for annual
renewal each year for a five-year period and this is the second
year of that renewal. National Tree has three (3) staff members
who hold National Arborists Certifications to ensure proper tree -
trimming procedures. While the contract will be with National
Tree, supervision of the work will be performed by the City's
Energy Services Department. National Tree Expert has been
working in Georgetown since the 1997 Ice Storm event. Their
work, in conjunction with system upgrades, have proven that
proper maintenance can provide for reduced outages during ice
