BRENHAM CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER BID FOR VEGETATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES

  

The Brenham City Council will act Thursday on accepting a bid for tree trimming and vegetation management services.

The city has received five bids for the project, which covers the trimming and removing of trees and other vegetation as necessary to maintain clearance for distribution power lines within the established right-of-way.  City officials say the work is critical to maintaining system reliability, ensuring public safety and reducing the risk of power outages caused by vegetation encroachment.

City staff recommends the council accept the low bid of Vegetation Management Services for $148,120.

Also at Thursday’s meeting, the council will consider appointing members to serve on the Brenham Community Projects Fund Board of Directors.  Additionally, it will vote on an amendment to the city’s 2025-26 budget and hold a work session to hear an update on the Brenham Municipal Airport and engineering projects.

Councilmembers will then go into executive session for discussion on an amendment to the wholesale power agreement with the Lower Colorado River Authority and the transition to a new city manager. 

The council will meet Thursday at 1 p.m. at Brenham City Hall.
