Title
Park Hill Ponds 1 (north side) and Park Hill Pond 3 (north side) Shoreline Restoration and Stabilization Phase II
History
In 2011 the Village established the Basin and Best Practices Management report. The report contains bids and evaluations on Village ponds and areas that require stewardship to ensure proper functionality and aesthetics of said areas. Since the completion of the report, the Village has worked with contractors to perform the required services. The selected companies were chosen based on price and expertise in the area of ecological restoration. V3 is one of the companies that were awarded basin and restoration work. Due to erosion and shoreline instability staff reached out to several companies for proposals to repair and prevent further issues. Since receiving the original costs, staff requested revised proposals to complete the needed work in phases. In 2016 V3 was awarded the work for this project and completed phase I. Phase II of the project continues with the regrading of the pond sites and installation of native seedbed/plugs. This native planting approach has been implemented by the board in an effort to reduce shoreline erosion and to aid in the stabilization.
The services include an educational component (community meeting for residents in the affected area) as well as informational handouts (printing and distribution) to help increase the understanding of the work and how and why it is being performed and what residents should expect to be accomplished.
V3 has additionally included a stewardship of the areas for three years which provides the Village additional savings. V3 has provided superior expertise and service, greatly improving the functionality and appearance of the natural plantings at multiple Village pond sites.
The scope of the work including the stewardship of the sites are attached.
On 6/19/17, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation committee, recommended for approval, and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
