Title

Landscape Management & Maintenance of Metra Stations

History

J.G.S. Landscape Architects is under contract through 2015 for the landscape management and maintenance of certain rights of way in the Village.  They have submitted three additional proposals to maintain the landscape in the area surrounding all three Metra commuter stations. The proposals for 2014 are as follows; 153^rd Metra - $15,600.00, 179^th Metra - $4,800.00, and 143^rd Metra - $11,600.00. The 2014 total is $32,000.00.

JGS has also provided proposals for these locations through the life of their current contract at the following rates; 2015 $33,594 and 2016 $35,273.   Staff recommends adding this work to the scope of the contract with JGS. 

On Monday, December 16, 2013, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Committee, recommended for approval, and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.

Financial Impact

Funds will come from account 026-0000-443500. $34,000.00 was budgeted for this work.

Recommended Action/Motion

I move to approve an addition to the contract with J.G.S. Landscape Architects, Inc. for the landscape management and maintenance of the area surrounding three Metra stations for the contract years 2014 and 2015 at the proposed amounts.
