Title
Landscape Management & Maintenance of Rights of Way Additional Work
History
Proposals were sought to perform additional landscape maintenance for medians and rights-of-way. Three companies submitted proposals and the lowest cost proposal was from J.G.S. Landscape Architects, Inc. which is the current contractor for the Village's 3-year landscape maintenance for medians and rights-of-way. The scope of work includes management and maintenance of the Rights of Way at 159th and LaGrange, 143rd and LaGrange, 143rd and Harlem, and 142nd and LaGrange. The proposal from J.G.S. included the required work at a cost of $51,000.00 for 2013, $52,000.00 for 2014, and $53,000.00 for 2015.
An additional $24,000 is needed to maintain the areas listed below. Annuals and perennials will be purchased for these islands to improve the aesthetics.
Landscape Maintenance Per Month Annual Cost
LaGrange and 131st St $500.00 $6,000.00
Circle Drive and 135th St $400.00 $4,800.00

Other areas to be maintained may be added as required.
Following the receipt of the proposal above, staff also requested that J.G.S. Landscape Architects provided a quote for plant replacements needed in other areas of the Village. The proposed prices are listed below, however the planting totals may change in the 143rd/LaGrange Road area due to warranties from work being done at the adjacent project.
143rd and LaGrange $2,290.00
143rd and Harlem $9,100.00
159th and LaGrange $4,800.00
153rd Metra Station East $7,190.00
153rd Metra Station East Clean-up $4,260.00
If authorized to add the work outlined above, an amendment would be made to the existing J.G.S. Landscape Architects contract.
