AB Awarding distribution system line clearance tree trimming under the terms of a contractural agreement establishing a fixed price for the completion of an entire work project has proven to be a cost effective alternative to traditional use of time and material basis contract tree crews. Successful utilization starts with establishing clear definition of project work requirements in the form of detailed specifications. Changes in the role of the contract administrator and contractor supervisor are necessary. An understanding of potential benefits and cost will increase the likelihood of success in adopting the fixed price bidding technique.
