Title
Arbor Ridge Pond (#05-03) Shoreline Stewardship Renewal (2021 - 2023)
History
In 2020, the Village expanded the number of pre-qualified Ecological Restoration Contractors (ERCs) utilized for a variety of restoration and stewardship projects from two (2) to four (4). These ERCs (Cardno Inc., Davey Resource Group, Pizzo & Associates, and V3 Companies) represent a pool of contractors from which the Village solicits pond shoreline restoration and stewardship (i.e. maintenance) proposals.
The stewardship periods for several ponds are concluding at the end of 2020, including Arbor Ridge Pond (#05-03). As such, the Public Works Department requested proposals from all four (4) ERCs to continue the shoreline maintenance of this pond for an additional three (3) years. Pizzo and Associates is currently maintaining Arbor Ridge Pond, which is located in the Persimmon Glen subdivision.
The scope of work over the three-year stewardship includes the maintenance of existing native plantings, the control of invasive woody and herbaceous flora, one (1) prescribed burn and supplemental seeding. The proposals represent the cost for three (3) years of shoreline maintenance from 2021 until 2023. A summary of the proposals for Arbor Ridge Pond can be found below:
Davey Resource Group - $16,550.00
Cardno - $18,420.00
V3 - $18,850.00
Pizzo - $21,700.00
Davey Resource Group submitted the lowest proposal and is the recommended contractor for the continuation of shoreline stewardships at Arbor Ridge Pond.
