Board approves Davie Resource Group contract for Orland Park municipal basin phase 2 stewardship
Summary
Trustees authorized a multi‑year stewardship agreement with Davie Resource Group for municipal basin Phase 2 work, covering 2025–2027 at a total of $490,406.80 with an optional two‑year extension to 2029 that could raise the total to $524,486.80; trustees asked staff questions about scope and competing bids.
The Village Board unanimously approved a service agreement with Davie Resource Group for Phase 2 stewardship of a municipal basin area, covering work from 2025 through 2027 with an option to extend for 2028–2029.
Trustee Campos moved to recommend approval and authorize execution of the service agreement as the lowest qualified responsive proposal. The motion listed fiscal year costs of $236,743.40 for 2025, $237,263.40 for 2026 and $16,400 for 2027, for a three‑year total of $490,406.80. The motion also included an option to extend for 2028 ($16,800) and 2029 ($17,280), which would result in a contract total not to exceed $524,486.80 if the extension is exercised. The motion passed on a roll call vote; all trustees and Mayor Peekau voted aye.
Trustees asked staff to confirm which specific basins are included. Staff identified the municipal basin ‘‘right across from public works’’ and said the stewardship work includes seeding and plug planting, with higher costs in the first two years for establishment and lower costs in year three once plantings are established. Trustee Campos asked whether the village felt Davie’s approach addressed concerns raised by Stantec, which declined to bid; staff replied that some firms decline to undertake larger ecological stewardship projects and that the firms that bid specialize in ecological stewardship.
No amendments were recorded at the meeting. The motion named Davie Resource Group as the lowest qualified responsive proposer and authorized execution of the service agreement; a contract signature date and department assignee were not specified in the record.
