Fenton City staff prepared a request for bid and issued bid docu- ments to notify all tree contractors listed in southeast Michigan. The city was seeking pricing for tree trimming based on a daily rate, removal services based on truck diameter, stump removal based on per inch pricing, crane services on an hourly basis and emergency tree work on an hourly basis. On April 21, the city received six bids. The bids were opened during a public meeting via Zoom. Bids ranged from $85,010 to $154,975. The lowest bid was submitted by CHOP a tree contractor head- quartered in Grand Rapids. It has a parent company named Pro Care Landscape Maintenance, which has a branch operation in Milford that serves southeast Michigan. In a memo form Dan Brisson, public works director to Lynn Markland, city manager, Brisson wrote that research of CHOP us- ing the Better Business Bureau showed it had an A+ rating with no complaints. CHOP has provided large scale tree maintenance and removal services for the city of Highland Park that is similar to the work scope Fenton requested. CHOP also has performed work for the Genesee County Road Commis- sion, which spoke favorably of the company. Services by CHOP will be pro- vided on an as-needed basis with invoice pricing based on their bid submission. 18 Sunday, June 20, 2021 WEEKEND TIMES myfenton.com Great gifts for today’s grads Summertime nIn addition to cash, the following suggestions could is something to be just what they need ABOUT!!
