FRAMINGHAM – The City of Framingham is re-bidding for the removal and stump grinding of 131 (one hundred and thirty-one) trees in the Edgell Grove Cemetery. In addition, there are 3 (three) trees that will need significant pruning. A lump sum cost for pruning, removal and stump grinding, including the disposal of all chips and wood materials shall be included.

The City had a request for proposals last summer, but this project is being re-bid again, said Edgell Grove Cemetery Trustee Dennis Cardiff

Cardiff said a tree inspection was done, and it uncovered more than 100 dead trees.

“The trees are dangerous safety hazards,” he said.

Cardiff said the Cemetery Trustees are working on a re-planting policy.
