Board authorizes up-to-$200,000 contracting for spring roundabout landscaping
Summary
The Parks Board authorized the director and city legal counsel to complete contracting for three spring 2025 roundabout landscaping projects in amounts not to exceed $200,000 total, citing many bidders and the need to meet planting windows.
The Westfield Parks and Recreation Board authorized the Parks Director and city legal counsel to complete the contracting process for spring 2025 roundabout landscaping in an amount not to exceed $200,000.
Chris said the request covers landscaping at three roundabouts: 169th Street & Spring Mill Road, 191st Street & East (exact cross-street name shown as East in planning materials), and 169th Street & Oak Road. The city received nine bidders, each submitting three design options, producing 27 total designs; staff said review is taking longer than expected.
Staff explained the signing authority is needed so the department can award contracts and begin work during the optimal planting window instead of waiting for the April board meeting. A motion to authorize the director and city legal counsel to complete contracting for the spring 2025 roundabout landscaping RFP in an amount not to exceed $200,000 passed on roll call with Curtis Baumgartner, Julia Germer and the chair recorded as yes.
Ending: Staff said awarding contracts promptly will allow work to proceed during the best planting season; specific awards and contractor names will be reported to the board once scoring and selection are complete.
