A Guide to Contracting for Municipal Tree Maintenance Services    (View PDF)

Robert L. Tate

Abstract: Contracting for all types of government services has increased recently. Contracting can provide efficient low-cost, high-quality services if the contracting process is properly understood. Good specifications must be developed and enforced. Steps have to be taken to ensure competition and qualified bidders. The contract should be monitored to guarantee performance because the responsibility of getting the work done still remains in the hands of city officials even though a contractor does it.
