Unknown 2:27

Senate? Okay.

Vi Lyles 2:30

All right, so that is a majority. All right. All right, let's go ahead and start with the very first ones. We'll go in the numerical order. The first one is item fourteen. Item fourteen is tree trun pruning and arborist services. Miss Mayfield, I'll recognize you. Thank

LaWana Mayfield 2:53

you, Madam Mayor. Maria sent the question for this. As far as what is the breakdown Of how many additional traits.

Unknown 3:05

Yes, ma'am. And and to your point this is You had also asked when it expires, I believe there the um time frame of the contract is through December thirty first, twenty twenty five. And we've conducted a pilot and based on the initial work from the pilot, we're expecting to do roughly Uh one thousand five hundred and sixty, but it depends on the type of tree, the size of the project.

3:31

No.

Unknown 3:32

So that's a estimate based on the what we've done so far with the

LaWana Mayfield 3:35

pilot. So for clarification, this additional request for one million dollars is

Vi Lyles 3:42

Thirty eight is not approved. Adding

LaWana Mayfield 3:44

only one year and hopefully an additional fifteen hundred trees, but we don't know if it's going to be correct, ma'am. It could be more or less. So does that mean out of this request for a million, if it is less then we should expect to see a refund at

Unknown 4:01

the end of this? Well so we pay 'em it's a it's we'll And um let me look at this one right quick. But I believe this one's based on the work order. So if we don't use all the money then we don't spend it. I don't we don't pay 'em in advance. So

LaWana Mayfield 4:16

Thank you for that clarification. What I'm trying to understand is if we're saying that initially This proposal that went out, we identi council identified and approved. A contract amount, but what we have in front of us is just the first of possibly many additional amendments, but just this first one for an additional million. And we're seeing for possibly for them to Mitigate. an additional fifteen hundred trees, but we don't have a definitive number for this amount.

Unknown 4:54

Correct, because it's based on how much work they do, how mu uh do they take the whole tree down, do they just prune prune some low hanging or do they have to climb up it and top it? Things like that. So we don't know until we actually um call 'em in to work on trees.
