Title
Village Center (#09-01) and Rec Admin (#09-02) Ponds - 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 the Village Center (#09-01) and Rec Admin (#09-02) Ponds. As such, the Public Works Department requested proposals from all four (4) ERCs to continue the shoreline maintenance of these ponds for an additional three (3) years. V3 Companies is currently maintaining both ponds, which are located on the Village Center campus.
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. At the request of the Village, both ponds were combined into a single stewardship project. The proposals represent the cost for three (3) years of shoreline maintenance from 2021 until 2023. A summary of the proposals can be found below:
Pizzo and Associates - $36,000.00
Cardno - $36,350.00
V3 - $37,475.00
Davey Resource Group - $68,680.00
Pizzo and Associates submitted the lowest proposal and is the recommended contractor for the continuation of shoreline maintenance at Village Center and Rec Admin Ponds.
