The fourth item is the “Infiltration Basin.” The plan calls for a number of plants to be installed, perhaps 80. Of that total, about 50 were planted. The contractor, Central Landscaping, refused to plant on the slopes, saying it made no sense. The plan also calls for the whole area to be covered with mulch. Central Landscaping put wood chips on the flat area but not on the slopes, stating that it would just fall to the bottom anyway. The bid from Dreamscapes states they will do the work. However, it states that it will be seeded. I am waiting for a re-bid for mulch instead of seed. Landbridge is also bidding that area but can not attend to it until next week. Costs: Based on the other bids I would expect that perhaps 50 more plants, at $32 installed by Landbridge, ($1,600) and surface work ($1,500) would total $3,100. The infiltration basin is owned by the homeowner's association. It was deeded to the association in 2017, as part of the closing on the purchase and sale of the project. The Developer's Agreement states: 19. Special Provisions a. …. b. The Enid Island Homeowner Association shall be responsible for the ownership, maintenance and landscaping of Outlot C. (The infiltration basin.) To us this means that the homeowner's association is responsible for the landscaping of the infiltration basin. We will do it as a concession. The fifth item is for Engineering, Inspection, And Legal. There is no reason to have an engineer involved. All the remaining work is landscaping. There is no remaining engineering work. Totals: Open Space Planting: $17,456 (Trees and shrubs) Open Space Restoration $15,000 Driveway Repair No bid Filtration Basin $ 3,100.00 Other costs Attached you will find the bids from each of the contractors. I would have the trees and shrubs installed right away. You have the funds so you will have to disburse for these items. If you have other bids please forward them to me. If you have a better deal then I want to take that deal. When this is all done it will come under Rick DeGardner's department. We may want to get his opinion prior to doing any work.
