Title
Nicklaus Pond South Shoreline Restoration and Stabilization Project - #02-09
History
In 2011, the Village established the Basin and Best Practices Management report. The report contains bids and evaluations on Village ponds and areas that require stewardship to ensure proper functionality and aesthetics of said areas. Since the completion of the report, the Village has worked with contractors to perform the required services. The selected companies, Pizzo and Associates, Ltd.and V3 Companies, were chosen based on cost and expertise in the area of ecological restoration.
Due to overgrowth of invasive woody and weed species, erosion and shoreline instability found throughout the shoreline of Nicklaus Pond, staff reached out to Pizzo and V3 for proposals to repair and prevent further issues based on current best ecological and shoreline restoration management practices. Proposals were received from V3 Companies and Pizzo and Associates, Ltd. The proposals are summarized below:
V3 Companies - $28,548.75
Pizzo and Associates, Ltd. - $51,010.82
Both proposals, as requested by staff, include stewardship of the area for three years to ensure the long-term viability of the project. As the lower of the two proposals, staff recommends approval of the V3 proposal. V3 has provided superior expertise and service, greatly improving the functionality and appearance of the natural plantings at multiple Village sites. V3 has proven to be extremely knowledgeable in this area of work and have provided exemplary service to the Village on high profile pond and natural area projects.
The proposal from both V3 Companies and Pizzo and Associates are attached for review.
This case is now before the Parks and Recreation Committee for review prior to being sent to the Board of Trustees for final consideration.
On July 1, 2019, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Committee, recommended for approval, and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration...
