$87,000 piggyback landscaping contract for Kimberly Boulevard draws requests for clearer renderings and consistency
Summary
Staff recommended a piggyback landscaping contract with Guardian Angel Nursery for Kimberly Boulevard at $87,000 plus a 10% contingency; commissioners asked for clearer renderings, consistent plant selection and minimum canopy clearances to preserve sightlines.
Staff presented a piggyback landscaping contract with Guardian Angel Nursery to install new plantings and trees along Kimberly Boulevard from SW 81st to Rock Island Road for $87,000 plus a 10% contingency. Commissioners stressed the need for consistent planting design, minimum clearances to preserve sightlines for trucks and vehicles, and better renderings showing final appearance and plant sizes.
Staff said trees would be a minimum clear trunk height of 6 feet to avoid blocking sightlines and that the contract included both installation and a modest contingency. Commissioners asked staff to ensure design development deliverables (conceptual sketches and schematic plans) are provided before final contractor mobilization; no final vote on award was recorded in the transcript.
