Title/Name/Summary
Landscape Maintenance Contract Amendment - Public Works (reference item #2018-0809)
History
Public Works staff solicited a proposal from the Village’s landscape maintenance contractor, Christy Webber Landscapes, for the addition of the Public Works grounds and the all fifty-five (55) Village playground sites to the current landscape maintenance contract. Christy Webber has performed at a high level, providing a quality product in the landscape maintenance of the Median/ROW, Metra Stations and all other Village facilities. The scope of work for the Public Works facility mirrors the current level of services that are performed on all other Village-owned properties and also includes monthly maintenance of the hill associated with the Police Department’s firing range. The contracting of these services has increased not only the aesthetic of Village properties but has enhanced the Public Works Department ability to focus on core functions.
It should be noted that the Village’s contract with Christy Webber is set to expire at the end of 2020. However, the contract includes the option to extend maintenance services for an additional two (2) years with Board approval for an amount not to exceed the originally proposed rates. A request to extend this contract may be presented to the Village Board for approval later this Fall.
Financial Impact
Funds for building landscape maintenance site additions are budgeted for FY2020. The cost to add two months of playground weeding is $10,938.64, while the cost to add the Public Works grounds is $3,562.54. Funds will be transferred from Grounds account 283-4003-443500 to account 010-1900-443500 to cover the cost addition to the landscape maintenance contract.
