Title
Wooded Path II Estates Stewardship (Updated)
History
Wooded Path stewardship was presented to committee and board approved on October 15, 2018 for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021. In reviewing the pricing documents presented the line referencing the costs for the 2020 and 2021 services was inadvertently omitted. Below are the updated costs for the stewardship of the seven (7) sites in the Wooded Path II Estates that are currently being maintained by Pizzo and Associates. The vendor has updated their proposal document in an effort to improve clarity. Pizzo and Associates submitted a proposal for a three (3) year (2019, 2020 and 2021) stewardship and a prescribed control burn in 2019 at a cost of $18,853.00. Years 2020 and 2021 at a cost of $14,013.00 each for a total cost of $46,879.00
The work includes the control of invasive woody and herbaceous flora through cultural methods, physical removal or the application of appropriate herbicides. The native plants will take advantage of the competitive release created by mowing, the timely application of herbicide or physical removal of the non-native plants.
The scope of work and the total cost for the three-year program is attached.
On March 4, 2019, 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 and budgeted in the Water Fund.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the Stewardship of Wooded Path II Estates for 2019, 2020, and 2021 to Pizzo and Associates for an amount not to exceed a total of $46,879.00 to include a controlled burn in 2019.
