Title
Landscape Maintenance Contract Site Additions
History
Parks Staff solicited a quote from current landscape contractor Christy Webber Landscapes, to add the Village Buildings to the current landscape contract. Christy Webber has done a great job with the Median/ ROW and Metra landscaping by providing a high-quality product.
It is this high quality that Christy Webber will bring to the Village Buildings. Christy Webber submitted a price of $62,385.00 for the landscape maintenance of the Cultural Arts Center, Veterans Center, Police Department, Village Hall Complex (which includes FLC and Rec Admin), Orland Park Health and Fitness Club, Sportsplex and the Centennial Park Pool. The hiring of Christy Webber Landscapes to perform the landscape maintenance at the village buildings will be efficient for parks staff as it will allow them to focus on more enhancement projects and core functions instead of time-consuming tasks such as weed pulling. With the hiring of Christy Webber, Parks staff was able to supplement the additional cost of the new sites by reducing the purchase of materials and a reduction in part-time and seasonal labor.
On December 3, 2018, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Committee, recommended for approval, and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Pending approval of budget FY2019 $62,385.00 is budgeted for the additional sites.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the site addition of the Village buildings landscape maintenance to our current landscaping vendor Christy Webber Landscapes in an amount not to exceed $62,385.00 pending approval of the FY2019 Budget.
