removal/maintenance contractors are required to be certified by power utilities
to work within 10 feet of powerlines up to 50,000 volts. There are also
tree maintenance companies that specialize in utility line clearing, but I would
be cautious with these companies since their focus is not always on what the
tree is left looking like but on getting the required
clearances.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV class=Section1>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am looking for information on electrical utility
contracts. Are there any municipalities that tender pruning contracts that
are strictly for utility pruning? We are going to tender for the
complete pruning of boulevard trees that are within the recommended set back
distance of electrical utility lines. This will require certified ISA arborists
that are also utility arborists. <o:p></o:p></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
