Title
Bottom Basin Enhancement Planting and Maintenance for Laurel Hills Pond
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. Two proposals for the Basin bottom enhancement planting and maintenance for the Laurel Hills pond. The selected companies were chosen based on price and expertise in the area of ecological restoration. The proposal received from Pizzo was at a cost of $8,256.27 for the alternate to base bid for seed mix, and the proposal from V3 at a cost of $11,330 for the alternate base bid for seed mix.
Pizzo & Associates, LTD. is one of the companies that were awarded basin and restoration work. Pizzo 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 Pizzo along with scope of the work are attached.
On July 18, 2016, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Committee, recommended for approval, and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
