AWARD CONTRACT TO DEVELOP A COMMUNITY
FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No.3 OOl- r7 accepting the proposal of $46,755 and awarding the
contract to David Evans and Associates, Inc. to develop a Community Forest Management
Plan.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On June 6, 2000, Council appropriated funds and directed staff to implement the Accessory
Recommendations created by the Citizen Committee to Study the City’s Tree Policy. The
Committee felt that the Accessory Recommendations would enhance the tree policy for the
entire City. One of the main recommendations was to create a Community Forest
Management Plan (CFMP).
A CFMP is a document that will provide direction to develop regulations and incentives to
manage tree-related issues in a proactive manner. The plan will address public trees and
will discuss planting, maintenance, removal, replacement and the preservation of public
trees. The Plan will also help raise citizen awareness of the benefits of a healthy and diverse
urban forest, proper tree selection and care. In addition, the Plan will include the remaining
Accessory Recommendation items such as:
l Updating the City’s tree list
l Updating the City’s Uniform Street Tree Planting Map
l Replace old age trees
l Removal of trees not in the City’s right of way
l Develop a Heritage Tree Program
l Develop a Management and Rehabilitation Plan for Hosp Grove.
On November 13, 2000, staff began soliciting “Request for Proposals” to qualified
consultants. Three proposals were received, opened, and evaluated by the selection
committee on December 13, 2000. The committee also conducted interviews with the three
consultants on December 19, 2000. The proposals received were as follows:
Arbor Life Consulting $ 36,790
David Evans and Associates, Inc. $ 46,755
ACRT, Inc. $105,200
The Selection Committee’s recommendation is not based on the lowest proposal, but rather
to the consultant who scores the highest overall against weighted evaluation criteria
developed by the committee. Areas of evaluation included overall responsiveness to
proposal requirements, amount of experience -per@rming similar work, positive references,
financial strength of the organization, and the likelihooa‘thesubmitted proposal will meet the City’s stated goals.
