VILLALOBOS & ASSOCIATES, INC. (#2027081)

Page 2 of 3 Consultant/Specialty Services Several sections of curb and gutter, sidewalk, and pathway are affected by the roots of existing trees. After the concrete is removed at these locations, the City’s on-call consultant, West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA), will assess the tree roots to determine whether root pruning is feasible or whether the extent of root pruning would compromise the tree. WCA will provide their recommendations to City staff and then perform the pruning or removal, as directed by staff. The goal is to preserve the trees whenever feasible, with removal used only as a last resort. If a tree must be removed, a replacement tree may be planted, depending on the location. During construction, and depending on soil conditions encountered, one of the City’s on-call geotechnical consultants may be used to provide soil and materials testing services to ensure the improvements are constructed according to adopted standards.
