DESCRIPTION:
Phase I of Emerald Glen Park, which is 19 acres located between Tassajara Road and Tassajara Creek and
between Central Parkway and Gleason Drive, is now under design. Phase I of the park site contains a
number of trees that are not part of the overall design of the park and would either be in the way of
structures, fields, or pathways.
As part of the design, a biological survey was completed by the City's contract biologist, LSA. No
endangered or threatened biological species were identified at the site. However, the Biologist
recommended that to ensure our construction schedule is maintained, we should remove all trees that
would be removed as part of the Emerald Glen Park Phase I Plan prior to the beginning of nesting season,
which begins in late February and continues through the Spring.
Staff sent a Request for Quotations for tree removal to ten firms. A total of seven bids were received.
The low bidder is Reliable Tree Experts, with a bid of$11,800. Staffhas reviewed the low bidder's
submittal and has checked their references. Their references included many Bay Area cities. Staff
recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution awarding a purchase order for the work to Reliable
Tree Experts.
