A sycamore tree whose roots were breaking the concrete sidewalk at the Sullivan Middle School campus was removed in late July.
The work was part of a $4,993 contract with Erickson-Hall Construction Company for the tree removal and concrete work. A 3-1 Bonsall Unified School District board vote July 14, with Sylvia Tucker opposed on procedural grounds and Lou Riddle absent, approved the contract.
"Buckled concrete is not a safe situation," said BUSD superintendent Justin Cunningham.
The tree, which was between 10 and 12 feet tall, was causing a health and safety issue as well as an access issue due to the roots raising and breaking the concrete sidewalk. The contract with Erickson-Hall included disposal of the tree as well as its removal.
The work also includes replacing approximately 1,100 square feet of concrete sidewalk and installing a new catch basin drain cover on an existing drain pipe.
