Title
Landscape Management & Maintenance of Rights of Way Contract Extension
History
In 2013, three companies submitted proposals for the Landscape Management & Maintenance of Village Rights of Way (ROW). The proposal with the lowest price was from J.G.S. Landscape Architects, Inc. at a cost of $51,000.00 for 2013, $52,000.00 for 2014, and $53,000.00 for 2015. The scope of these proposals is for the management and maintenance of the Rights of Way at 159th and LaGrange, 143rd and LaGrange, 143rd and Harlem, and 142nd and LaGrange.
Staff recommends extending the contract for two years until LaGrange Road aesthetic enhancements are complete at such time we will put out an RFP for the total ROW. J.G.S. Landscape is keeping their prices the same as the 2015 cost for 2016 and 2017 season.
On September 21, 2015 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 are available in the Capital Streets/Right of Way account 054-0000-443300. $400,000.00 budgeted.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve an extension of the contract with J.G.S. Landscape Architects, Inc. for the Landscape Management & Maintenance of Rights of Way added work for the contract years 2016 and 2017 not to exceed the proposed amounts.
