Seven Fields recovers from recent windstorms

SEVEN FIELDS — Borough council awarded a $2,300 contract Monday for removal of a more than 60-foot tree blown down in recent windstorms.

“Normally, we can handle some of these things in-house and chop them up with our chain saws and drop them in a C1 property,” township manager Tom Smith said. “But something like this, it’s unsafe. We’re not equipped with the expertise.”

The massive tree was ripped apart in the windstorms, falling from a C1 property — or open municipal property — into a residential property on Breckland Drive.

Smith said the highest bid the borough received was $4,200. The lowest bid, $2,300 by RB Tree Service, was approved by council Monday.
