Title
Orland Golfview Pond South Shoreline Restoration and Stabilization Project - #14-05
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, Pizzo and Associates, Ltd.and V3 Companies, were chosen based on cost and expertise in the area of ecological restoration.
Due to severe erosion and shoreline instability found on the south shoreline of Orland Golfview Pond, staff reached out to Pizzo and V3 for proposals to repair and prevent further issues based on current best ecological and shoreline restoration management practices. A proposal was received from V3 Companies, Ltd.; however, Pizzo did not submit a proposal.
Due to the high cost of V3's initial proposal, staff discussed alternative options with V3 as a way to reduce project costs by adjusting the scope of work. After a discussion between staff and V3, an alternative proposal was provided which eliminated the stone toe along the shoreline, at the soil wrap. Past projects that have included the stone toe have shown to hold up to erosion and undermining of the soil wraps very well (Park Hill Pond projects for example). If the budget does not allow, Option 2, which does not include a stone toe, would help address existing issues but erosion may result over time. Staff suggests that, while initially more expensive, the best long-term approach to stabilizing the shoreline would be to include a stone toe.
Option 1 = $193,500 (includes stone toe at soil wrap)
Option 2 = $161,213 (does not include stone toe at soil wrap)
The scope of services also includes 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 to ensure the long-term viability of the project. V3 has provided superior expertise and service, greatly improving the functionality and appearance of the natural plantings at multiple Village sites, including the north side of Orland Golfview Pond. V3 has proven to be extremely knowledgeable in this area of work and have provided exemplary service to the Village on high profile pond and natural area projects.
The proposal from V3 Companies, which includes a detailed scope of work, is attached for review.
This case is now before the Parks and Recreation Committee for review prior to being sent to the Board of Trustees for final consideration.
On July 1, 2019, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Committee, recommended for approval, and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
