Title
Stormwater Basin Stewardship Extensions - Pizzo and Associates
History
In 2017, Pizzo and Associates were hired to establish and maintain the native landscape shorelines around the following stormwater basins:
Laurel Hills Pond (#29-08)
Green Knoll Pond (#30-04)
Lake Shore North (#31-18)
Marley Creek Boulevard Middle Pond (#31-20)
Marley Creek Boulevard South Pond (#31-21)
Mill Creek Pond (#33-01)
Persimmon Meadow Pond (#05-08)
Preston Pond (#06-11)
Royal Oaks Pond (#08-25)
Since that time, the landscape buffer has been successfully established and maintained through the control of invasive woody and herbaceous flora through the physical removal or the application of appropriate herbicides, controlled burns and the replanting of native plant material.
As Pizzo and Associates have become thoroughly familiar with the buffer yard landscape at these ponds and have exceeded expectations for their establishment and maintenance. Staff recommends extending their contract for the stewardship of the pond for an additional three (3) years (2020, 2021 and 2022). A three-year proposal summary is attached for review, as well as, the project proposal for each site.
Financial Impact
Funds are available in account 031-6007-443500 for work performed in 2020, which totals $51,536.00, and would be available based on 2021 and 2022 Board approved budgets, which would be $51,536 and $68,702 respectively, for a proposed three-year total of $171,774.00.
