RE: Tree Maintenance Services performed by WCA, Inc.
Dear Mr. Stephenson,
www.WCAINC.com
As we approach the end of the current contract year, West Coast Arborists, Inc. would like to take this
opportunity to convey our sincere gratitude to you and your staff for another successful year. Together, we
have worked diligently to maintain the integrity, health and preservation of the community's urban forest.
The purpose of this letter is to express our interest in continuing with the agreement for an additional year
with a slight adjustment in cost. The adjustment is a result of Consumer Price Index (CPI) changes and
increased labor costs as determined by the California Department of Industrial Relations. We respectfully
request a cost adjustment of 5.0% which is the maximum allowed per the Agreement.
Effective Date: July 01, 2022
CPI Adjustment Requested: 5.00% (Max. allowed)
Region Area: West - Class B/C
We appreciate your consideration in this matter and look forward to continuing our successful business
relationship. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to
email me at vgonzalez wcainc.com or call me at (800) 521-3714.
Sincerely,
Victor M. Gonzalez
Vice President, Business Development
