Title
VOP Municipal Basin Phase I - Change Order #1
History
In 2023, Public Works contracted with Davey Resource Group, Inc. (contract #20230121) to manage and ultimately remove the invasive vegetation (phragmites reeds) from the Municipal Basin wetland west of the Public Works building. This initial clearing work would prepare the site for a more traditional stewardship contract in the future to manage the native vegetation. This original contract value was $161,890.00 for two (2) years of service to the basin and included no contingency amount.
As this project has progressed, the invasive phragmites have grown more dominant in the southwestern region of the wetland. This area was originally left out of the proposed scope of work, however if left unmanaged it does threaten to undo previous work and allow the phragmites to spread into the wetland again. Davey Resource Group has submitted a proposal to include this additional area in this year’s planned trimming and controlled burn. The total cost for this additional service is $4,350.00.
Financial Impact
Funding in account 5008170-443500 is available for this change order. The current contract amount of $161,890.00 would be modified to $166,240.00.
