CC - Item 4H - Del Mar Avenue Tree Planting ProjectROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: MATTHEW E. HAWKESWORTH, ACTING CITY MANAGER DATE: MAY 26, 2009 SUBJECT: DEL MAR AVENUE TREE PLANTING PROJECT SUMMARY As part of the City's Fiscal Year 2008 -09 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council approved a project entitled, "Del Mar Avenue Resurfacing ". The limits of the project are from Garvey Avenue to Highcliff Street. Tree planting in parkway areas on Del Mar was included to contribute to the overall efforts of beautification and urban forestation in the City. In an effort to attract the most economical bid for the tree planting portion of the project, which requires a different contractual trade than the regular resurfacing work, the project was split into two contracts: One for the tree planting work and the second for the resurfacing - related work. On May 12, 2009, the City Council authorized staff to survey Del Mar Avenue residents and determine if there is a desire to move forward with planting trees in parkway locations. Staff has compiled the results of this survey for further review. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council: 1. Authorize tree planting at locations approved by property owners and residents; 2. Authorize staff to patch and repair all excavated areas where trees will not be planted. DISCUSSION The City's Public Works Services Business Unit is responsible for the maintenance and care of 4,500 trees located in the public right -of -way and on public property. This includes trimming, planting, root pruning, tree removal, tree inspections, and tree cleanup during storms and emergency situations. The City maintains a street tree inventory of trees species that have been planted in the past throughout the City. This inventory helps ensure an appropriate diversity in tree species and provide a sustainable urban forest. APPROVED FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA: g ITEM NO. -� IL City Council Meeting May 26, 2009 Paae 2 of 2 In reviewing the street tree inventory, staff found several tree vacancies in parkway locations along Del Mar Avenue. After evaluating these locations, staff recommended planting 55 trees along Del Mar Avenue from Garvey Avenue to Highcliff Street in conjunction with a planned resurfacing project. After executing contract documents and verifying insurance requirements, staff authorized CLS to proceed with the project starting April 22, 2009. Prior to selecting each planting location, staff analyzed the proximity to existing trees and power lines in order to minimize future maintenance problems. Parkway spaces were also reviewed to ensure that accessible walkways were maintained per ADA requirements. Altogether, this project calls for the addition of 55 trees in vacant locations along Del Mar Ave. To date, the contractor completed excavation of tree well locations including concrete cutting and concrete removal at 55 cited locations. Each of these locations has been backfilled with dirt to eliminate trip hazards. The contractor has been directed not to perform any additional work until staff is given further direction from the City Council. The tree species that are being recommended for planting include the Gold Medallion Tree, Pink Trumpet Tree and Evergreen Pear Tree (Attachment 1). These species are recommended for several reasons including low maintenance costs, pest/disease resistance, and aesthetics /appearance. Resident Survey On May 18, 19, and 20, staff conducted a survey of Del Mar Avenue residents to gauge interest in planting street trees. Residents were asked to decide if they want a tree and if interested, select a species of tree to be planted. Individuals not interested could also elect not to plant a tree. The results of this survey (Attachment 2) indicate that out of 42 survey participants, 35 participants expressed an interest to continue with the tree planting project. A total of 7 participants were not interested in planting trees. Based on these survey results, staff is recommending that trees be planted at locations approved by property owners and residents. Staff will patch and repair all excavated areas at the remaining 7 locations.

Print Name: Signature: Address: 7 7 � (� F I.% /\/ S T ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: JEFF STEWART. CITY MANAGER DATE: MAY 12. 2009 SUBJECT: DEL MAR AVENUE TREE PLANTING PROJECT SUMMARY As part of the City's Fiscal Year 2008 -09 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council approved a project entitled, "Del Mar Avenue Resurfacing ". The limits of the project are from Garvey Avenue to Highcliff Street. Tree planting in parkway areas on Del Mar was included to contribute to the overall efforts of beautification and urban forestation in the City. In an effort to attract the most economical bid for the tree planting portion of the project, which requires a different contractual trade than the regular resurfacing work, the project was split into two contracts: One for the tree planting work and the second for the resurfacing - related work. Subsequent to an informal competitive bid, a contract with CLS Landscape (Attachment 1) was approved by the City Manager in the amount of $21,274.55. Excavation of tree well locations including concrete cutting and concrete removal began on April 22, 2009. All cutout locations have since been backfilled with dirt to minimize potential safety concerns. Since then, work has stopped pending further direction from the City Council. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council direct staff to: 1. Meet with residents along Del Mar Avenue to discuss the tree planting project and the 3 tree species recommended for planting; 2. Survey Del Mar Avenue residents and determine if there is a desire to move forward with tree planting; 3. Present the results of the neighborhood surveys to the City Council at its next meeting. APPROVED FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA: City Council Meeting May 12, 2009 Page 2 of 3 DISCUSSION The City's Public Works Services Business Unit is responsible for the maintenance and care of 4,500 trees located in the public right -of -way and on public property. This includes trimming, planting, root pruning, tree removal, tree inspections, and tree cleanup during storms and emergency situations. The City also maintains a street tree list to help ensure an appropriate diversity in tree species and provide a sustainable urban forest. In reviewing the street tree list, staff found several tree vacancies in parkway locations along Del Mar Avenue. After evaluating these locations, staff recommended planting 55 trees along Del Mar Avenue from Garvey Avenue to Highcliff Street in conjunction with a planned resurfacing project. After executing contract documents and verifying insurance requirements, staff authorized CLS to proceed with the project starting April 22, 2009. Prior to citing each planting location, staff analyzed the proximity to existing trees and power lines in order to minimize future maintenance problems. Parkway spaces were also reviewed to ensure that accessible walkways were maintained per ADA requirements. Altogether, this project calls for the addition of 55 trees in vacant locations along Del Mar Ave. To date, the contractor completed excavation of tree well locations including concrete cutting and concrete removal at 55 cited locations. Each of these locations has been backfilled with dirt to eliminate trip hazards. The contractor has been directed not to perform any additional work until staff is given further direction from the City Council. The tree species that are being recommended for planting include the Gold Medallion Tree, Pink Trumpet Tree, and Evergreen Pear Tree (Attachment 2). These species are recommended for several reasons including low maintenance costs, pest/disease resistance, and aesthetics /appearance. FINANCIAL REVIEW Funding for this project is provided in the City's approved FY 2008 -09 Public Works budget (Gas Tax Funds). ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15304 (a) of the CEQA Implementing Guidelines. This exemption covers projects involving minor alterations of land that do not have a significant effect on the environment.
