BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
As part of the City's annual Brush Collection Program, the Department of Public Works (DPW) collects branches in bulk placed along the curbside by residents each May. This program has been contracted in its entirety since 2017.
In February 2020, DPW issued Bid 20-087, Brush Collection Services to retain contractors to perform brush collection services. The work is performed by crews of two to three workers using a chipping device towed behind a truck with an enclosed chip box or grapple equipment capable of loading brush. The work performed under this contract includes all necessary equipment and personnel required to perform brush collection.
Requirements of the program will remain consistent with past years. The schedule for the 2020 brush collection program is as follows:

Staff was concerned that the weekly collection areas may be too large for a supplier to complete in a one-week period; therefore, the areas were further subdivided in sub-groups A and B. Maps showing the brush collection areas and the sub-groups are attached.
