Trail awards tree inventory contract

The City of Trail has awarded a contract to prepare a tree inventory and assessment to a Delta company.

Bartlett Tree Experts was the highest-ranked of five qualified bidders and will do the work for $58,575 plus tax.

The other bidders were Cathro Consulting of Kaslo, Arbor Pro of Langley, Vincent Treeworks of Glade, and Warden Tree Service of Nelson.

A memo to council said in addition to being the lowest bidder, Bartlett has extensive qualifications, a clear understanding of the city’s objectives, a well-developed approach and efficient schedule, and “exceptional” references from similar projects.
