City Council approval is requested to amend Contract No. 35545 with Great Scott Tree Service, Inc.

On April 21, 2020, the City Council awarded a contract to Great Scott as part of its adoption of RFP PR19-126 for tree trimming and removal services for a period of two years, with the option to renew for three additional one-year periods, in an annual amount not to exceed $970,025, inclusive of a 15 percent contingency.
