This report highlights the continual improvement in productivity and operational efficiency being exhibited by the crews as a result of the implementation of the Auditor General's recommendations and PFR's increased oversight and enhanced contract management. When issues of unproductive time are found, PFR has tools to take immediate action to hold Contractors and City crews accountable in accordance with contract terms and the collective agreement. The performance update data presented in this report reflects the current arboricultural services contracts which came into effect on July 1, 2021.
