President Johnson noted Community High School District 128 is requesting approval of a Special
Use Permit to locate a Vocational Rehabilitation Service Facility at 904 S. Milwaukee Avenue.
The District had previously requested a Text Amendment to allow the use as a Special Use in the

the request. A motion to recommend Village Board of Trustees approval passed with a vote of 6 -
0. Accordingly, the recommendation is for approval.

7 - RESOLUTION NO. 22-R-20: A Resolution to Approve a Contract Renewal and Change
Order No. 1 with Fleck's Landscaping for the Annual Contractual Landscape Maintenance
& Mowing Program - Part A
President Johnson noted the Village awarded the contract for the first year for Part A of the Annual
Contractual Landscape Maintenance & Mowing Program to Fleck's Landscaping on January 14,
2020 with the passage of Resolution 20-R-06. The initial low bidder, Beary Landscape
Management, was deemed unresponsive due to numerous bidding irregularities. The contracted
work for Part A includes weekly site visits composed of mowing, weed control, fertilizer
applications, mulching and fall leaf cleanup for our traditionally smaller sites. The contract
contained pricing for five years and a renewal clause for up to four additional years. Public Works
staff recommends renewing the contract for the third of five possible years with Fleck's
Landscaping based upon their responsiveness and successful work completed to date.
The list of the work locations and associated costs are attached. The recommended contract
renewal amount is $52,931 . A change order of $900 is also recommended to perform additional
work, which includes mulching for 14 new trees and mowing of one cul-de-sac island, that have
been added since the initial contract. The proposed change order will increase the total contract
amount to $53,831. The draft Annual Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23 Budget contains sufficient funds
for the proposed landscape maintenance and mowing work.
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution to renew the contract with Fleck's
Landscaping for Part A of the Annual Contractual Landscape Maintenance & Mowing Program,
including change order no. 1, and authorize execution of the contract renewal and change order
no. 1 by the Village Administrator, subject to the appropriation of funds in the Draft FY 2022/23

President Johnson noted the Village awarded a contract for the initial year for Part B of the Annual
Contractual Landscape Maintenance & Mowing Program to Buhrman Design Group, Inc. on
January 14, 2020 with the passage of Resolution 20-R-07. The contracted work includes weekly
site visits composed of mowing, weed control, fertilizer applications, mulching and fall leaf
cleanup of our traditionally larger sites (Nicholas Dowden, Adler and Butler Lake Parks, etc.). The
contract contained pricing for five years and a renewal clause for up to four additional years. Public
Works staff recommends renewing the contract for the third of five possible years with Buhrman
Design Group, Inc. based upon their responsiveness and successful work completed to date.
The list of the work locations and associated costs are attached. The total recommended contract
renewal amount proposed is $366,059.50, which includes change order no. 1 to perform additional
mulching for 113 newly planted trees, mowing of 2 cul-de-sac islands and landscape enhancements
to the School St. Parking lot along with a reduction in services at the Canlan Sports Complex. This
is an overall decrease of $8,371.50 from the initial bid. The Draft Annual Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23
Budget contains sufficient funds for the proposed landscape maintenance mowing work.
