" Tratar" is in the infinitive because there is no other way to express the idea. It's an action that should happen in the future, the verb isn't conjugated because it still doesn't have a time of resolution.
For example: " Necesitamos hablar " = " we need to talk " // " Debemos tratar de conseguir un nuevo libro " = " We should try to get a new book ".
I hope that my comment has been clear, my english isn't good.
