Title
Lake Sedgewick Fish Restocking
History
The Parks Department received an estimate from Keystone Hatcheries LLC for restocking the fish at Lake Sedgewick. This estimate is for stocking the lake in the spring. Staff requested quotes from four other companies (Logan Hollow Fish Farm, North Star Fish Hatchery, Harrison Fishery, and Clear Creek Fisheries). Only one other company responded. Logan Hollow Fish Farm responded with a quote, but it was not for the specified species. The Parks department has worked with Keystone Hatcheries for over a decade and is very satisfied with the fish and service they provide. Based on information provided by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources with regard to predator fish and sizing, staff recommends purchasing fish from Keystone Hatcheries LLC in the amount of $9,517.00.
On February 15, 2016, 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 line item 283-4003-464850, $10,000 budgeted.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the estimate from Keystone Hatcheries, LLC at a cost not to exceed $9,517.00
