 Tree Frederick: Help
your city become a more beautiful and environmentally friendly place by
planting some trees. We invite residents to learn more about the trees
that will do well in small and large spaces to help
facilitate a mass planting this spring. Click here for an order form and tree guide
that will outline the planting process and give you tips on how to care
for your tree. Trees on the order form qualify for a $25 Marylander's
Plant Trees Coupon! The City is partnering with Stadler Nursery for this
pilot project, arranged by Yash Pavuluri, the Sustainability Office intern: Residents
may purchase trees through Stadler, using the online order form only.
Stadler will be in touch to discuss where you'd like the trees to be
planted and planting service fees. You'll only need water! (There is no
additional charge for planting services on trees that cost $200 or more)
This project is open to all City residents! City staff members are
available to assist with tree selection or technical questions you might
have and are gathering information from homeowners who'd like to
participate, details will be passed along to Stadler.
For all other questions please email,
March Is Purchasing Month!
The month is set aside to recognize
the role of purchasing professionals. These professionals strive to
provide efficient and effective use of taxpayer dollars by adhering to
the six values of the profession, which are accountability,
impartiality, ethics, professionalism, service and transparency.
The Maryland Public Purchasing
Association will host a special one-day training, which Purchasing
Manager Keisha Brown will attend. After, she will be rolling out a
"Purchasing 101" educational program to user departments.
The procurement function is a team
effort that depends on cooperation among department heads, employees,
elected officials and the vendor community. The Purchasing Department
invites you to ask questions and stop by to see them when you're at DPW!
As always, contact us to report concerns or ask questions: 301-600-1498.
