Title
Police Department Native Landscape - 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 native landscape stewardship (i.e. maintenance) proposals.
Since 2010, Pizzo and Associates has maintained the native landscape areas located on the grounds of the Police Department. The current Police Department landscape stewardship period concludes at the end of 2020. As such, the Public Works Department requested proposals from all four (4) ERCs to continue the native landscape maintenance of the Police Department grounds for an additional three (3) years.
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. Proposals represent the cost for three-years of native landscape maintenance from 2021 until 2023. A summary of the proposals can be found below:
Cardno, Inc. - $21,550.00
V3 Companies - $25,275.00
Pizzo and Associates - $33,150.00
Davey Resource Group - $51,500.00
Cardno, Inc. submitted the lowest proposal and is the recommended contractor for the continuation of native landscape maintenance at the Police Department.

Funds are available in account 010-1900-443500 for landscape maintenance at the Police Department.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the proposal for Police Department Native Landscape Stewardship for 2021 - 2023, submitted by Cardno, Inc. of Monee, IL, for a total three-year amount not to exceed $21,550.00.
