West Coast Arborists (WCA) for citywide tree maintenance services expired on
September 10, 2024. To maintain service continuity, WCA has continued providing
services on an interim, as-needed basis while a long-term maintenance agreement
was pursued. Following City Council direction, staff reissued a Request for
Proposals on April 24, 2025, and received eight proposals by May 23, 2025. After
evaluating the submissions, staff presented the results and recommendations to
the Council on July 8, 2025. The Council, however, opted to table the report and

select the contractor, and authorize the City Manager to execute a three (3) year
contract in the amount of $265,000 per year through December 31, 2028, with the option
