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>
