Board approves Rustic Rocks contract for pond landscaping

Summary
Elkhart Parks approved a memorandum of understanding with Rustic Rocks to perform landscaping and boulder work around a park pond, citing past work at Wellfield and the firm's cost and design fit.
The Elkhart City Board of Parks and Recreation unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding on Dec. 2 with Rustic Rocks to perform landscaping and boulder placement around a park pond.
Staff told the board Rustic Rocks was selected after outreach to multiple vendors; the company previously worked at Wellfield and provided the most suitable price and design approach to create a naturalized look rather than a simple boulder wall. "They're providing the labor services for that," staff said, adding that Rustic Rocks "come highly recommended."
A board member noted the pond improvements complement other amenities such as a newly installed dive tower. The board moved, seconded and carried the MOU unanimously.
What happens next: staff will execute the MOU and coordinate scheduling, and Rustic Rocks will begin work under the terms approved by the board.
