BACKGROUND:
In 2023, the City Council approved CIP PA054, Native Vegetation Management Program, for the creation of a new program that promotes native vegetation and sustainable landscapes to improve the presence of pollinators, improve water quality, and provide sustainable green infrastructure.
The Department of Public Works drafted an RFQ for a consultant to develop and implement this program. The scope of work for the consultant will include the following:
* Evaluate project sites suitable for conversion to or establishment of native landscape pollinator habitat.
* Define annual performance criteria for establishment of desired vegetation and function of the improved properties.
* Design and permit all work associated with the project.
* Implement the creation, conversion, and/or enhancement of the defined projects.
* Monitor and maintain these sites from implementation throughout the duration of the contract.
* Evaluate new sites annually to be added to the overall program and complete the design and permitting of these sites.
* Create a five-year plan, including estimated needed funding.
* Administer the full program through the duration of this contract.
The City has identified five properties as the initial project sites. Creation and enhancement of native vegetation will occur on select areas of these properties and include the following:
1. Lake Osborn
2. Old Plank Park
3. Country Commons Park
4. Public Works Service Center
5. Auto Test Track
