Re: Contract for Tree Removal Services in the Nashua Downtown Riverfront
The Office of Economic Development in partnership with the Community Development Division issued
TFB0980-091619 this past summer. Specifically, the services sought assistance in the removal and
trimming of trees along the Nashua Riverfront.
The City received four proposals after a site walk with approximately ten tree companies in attendance
during the procurement process. An evaluation occurred by the TIF Committee based on
qualifications/experience, past performance and service on similar projects, proposed approach to scope of
work along with cost. After doing reference checks Accurate Tree Removal Service was selected as the
proposed vendor.
The contract will be paid through the TIF account established last year, which has approximately
$750,000. This is the first step in implementing the Nashua Riverfront Development Master Plan. As a
reminder there will a couple of large expenditures before you as we begin to implement the Nashua said
Plan and improve the riverfront area of the downtown.
lam recommending awarding a contract for tree removal and trimming services for the amount not to
exceed $200,000 to Accurate Tree Removal.
Thank you.
