Background & Comments

Last year City Counci] approved the clearing of approximately 17
acres of Reeve Street Park for ‘the construction of an active park.

After the clearing was completed, several large piles of tree stumps
a - were left. At that time, City Council did not wish to burn the ee
Son stumps. | ;

It is now necessary to remove the stumps and have it completely = -«.
cleared. Then if we get free fill etc. we can start stockpiling and
filling. Also, we do not want to create an "eyesore" in the ©
neighborhood with these large piles. 7

Earlier this year we went out to tender for the removal of the |
stumps. The low tender of $43,000 was received from Arbotec Tree
Services. The Purchasing Manager has recommended that we take the =.
low bid. The City will be asking for a performance bond from Arbotec.

There are sufficient funds in the
Park 0.C.C. interest fund.
