Stonebay Tree Replacement <br /> Sept. 23, 2008 <br /> Page 2 <br /> These quotes do not include watering of trees along Willow Drive, which are not covered by <br /> the irrigation system. Maplecrest quoted an additional $850 for watering; it is unclear what <br /> time period this would cover. It is possible to have Public Works water these trees as <br /> necessary. <br /> Staff Recommendation <br /> The City Engineer had provided an estimate of $20,000 for tree replacement far Kelley <br /> Parkway and Wiliow Drive. The Maplecrest quote is substantially higher than those of <br /> Doran and Norling, which are relatively similar. There are a few minor adjustments on <br /> Norling's quote (2" aspen vs 2.5", 6'-7' spruce vs 8') that appear to reflect availability. The <br /> City has a good working relationship with Norling. We haven't worked at all with Doran. <br /> Staff recommends acceptance of the quote and authorization for Norling's Lake Minnetonka <br /> Landscape's, Inc. to proceed with the tree replacement work. <br /> COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br /> Motion to accept the quote of Norling's Lake Minnetonka Landscape's, Inc. in the amount of <br /> $15,167.21 for tree replacement work at Stonebay, to be funded from the Stonebay LOC <br /> proceeds, and authorize the work to be commenced. <br />
