Mr. Garcia stated that on October 24 he submitted an email providing his review and input on the contractors under consideration, including information regarding their current licenses. He noted the C-31 license requirements that many agencies are adopting for public safety related to traffic control associated with tree work. Mr. Garcia stated that while some contractors consider traffic control incidental to their work, situations involving extensive traffic control such as lane closures and detours may require additional qualifications. He suggested that the City consider pulling the item.
City Manager Joshua Nelson responded that, as noted in the staff report, staff is recommending that the City Council reject all bids received through the RFP process. He explained that the City's Municipal Code allows the City to negotiate for maintenance services, and staff subsequently negotiated with three companies that had submitted proposals through the RFP process. Mr. Nelson stated that the agreement requires all contractors to comply with State law and applicable licensing requirements. He added that traffic control services may be subcontracted and that the City will ensure compliance with State law regarding those requirements.
Mayor Moss asked if anyone else from the public had comments or questions, there were none.
