Resolution No. 2025-02
Approving Change Order No. 1 for the Private Ash Tree Removal Program
Whereas, the Private Ash Tree Removal Program included removal of up to 100 ash trees on income-
qualified properties under a contract with Carr’s Tree Service of Ottertail, MN (Contractor); and
Whereas, the Project was funded by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) ReLeaf
grant; and
Whereas, the Contractor has been performing satisfactorily and additional grant dollars and demand
for tree removal exist; and
Whereas, City of Fridley (City) staff identified trees for removal that require the assistance of a crane
which was not included in the original contract; and
Whereas, additional work was desired by the City that modified the original contract from $194,800
to $344,800 including necessary crane work (a 77% increase).
Now, therefore be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Fridley hereby approves Change
Order No. 1 for the Private Ash Tree Removal Program in the amount of $150,000.
Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Fridley this 6th day of January, 2025.
