Churchill Pond, Site ID# 29-11Shoreline Restoration and Stabilization
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 Construction Group is one of the companies that were awarded basin and restoration work. V3 Construction Group 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. Staff reached out to vendors for proposals for the invasive species control and restoration of the Churchill Pond site with ongoing stewardship. V3 Construction Group submitted a proposal for a three (3) year (2018, 2019 and 2020) stewardship at a cost of $28,955.50, which includes plug planting, (2700), native seeding, and erosion control blanketing, (1200) linear feet the 1st year of the proposal. Pizzo & Associates submitted a proposal for the same period at a cost of $27,567.00 which does not include the cost of planting 2700 bare root plant and wetland plugs along the water edge. Pizzo and Associates cost to plant 2100 shoreline plugs is an additional $6,937.00, totaling $34,504.00.
The work includes the control of invasive woody and herbaceous flora through cultural methods, physical removal or the application of appropriate herbicides. The native plants will take advantage of the competitive release created by mowing, and the timely application of herbicide or physical removal of the non-native plants.
The scope of work and the total cost for the three-year program is attached.
