Title
Controlled Burn Quote Award
History
We received a quote from Pizzo & Associates, Ltd. for the controlled burn for Humphrey Woods in the amount of $6,350.00. JFNew was the low bid for the PW and Parks controlled burns for the years 2010 - 2013 but has defaulted on their contract due to insurance complications. The burn was never conducted in 2010 and they can not perform the burn for 2011. Pizzo has performed this service satisfactorily in previous years and can get the job completed in 2011. They have applied for permits. They are also under contract to manage the controlled burn of the new Police Station natural area this year.
On October 3, 2011, this item was reviewed and approved by the Parks, Recreation, and Environmental Initiatives Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The $4334 is budgeted in the Parks account 283-4003-451-4350 - excess is available due to savings on tennis court resurfacing project ($4700 savings).
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the quote from Pizzo & Associates, Ltd at a cost of $6,350.00;
And
Authorize the Village Manager to execute the contract.
