Project Scope

West Street Detention Pond Landscape Restoration

PURPOSE:

The City of Geneva invites contractors to submit a Proposal to provide landscape

restoration of an existing detention pond located west of West Street and south of West

State Street (IL RT 38).

BACKGROUND:

The City of Geneva is seeking to modernize, refresh, and replace existing turf

landscaping with native landscaping within the detention pond basin (bottom and

embankments) to enhance appearances, stormwater quality, drainage characteristics

and compatibility with the Bird City Illinois Program. The basin was built in 1990 as is

best characterized as a turf grass intermittent wet facility. There are invasive non-native

plants that have established themselves throughout the basin.

In 2021 the City identified this basin as part of Study Area 5.15- Maple Sherman Area

within the 2021 Comprehensive Drainage Study. The conclusion of this study provided

for area drainage improvements, including underdrains within the pond to enhance

drainage functionality. These improvements were installed in 2024.

Through a grant with the State of Illinois, the City has secured $80,000 to conduct

landscape restoration and enhancements within the facility, including but not limited to

invasive plant removals, native plantings installation and drain channel installation.

Construction water will be provided by the City of Geneva at no charge for this project at

the Geneva Public Works Facility. If a hydrant meter is desired, a deposit will be

required.

OBJECTIVES:

The City is seeking to retain a well-established and qualified firm capable of providing

professional services to conduct all aspects of the project. The City will entertain a

Design-Build, Design-Build at risk, or construction approach that complies with Federal,

State, and local controls that achieves the objectives.

Due to the sources of funding, the vendor must submit with their proposal their State of

Illinois Business Enterprise Program (BEP) certification for 2026.

SCOPE OF WORK:

All work must be completed by July 31, 2026.

The selected firm will design and install. All construction phases will be liable to the

current Prevailing Wage Standard. The following tasks must be included within the

proposal;

1. Invasive Plant Removal and eradication

2. Native landscape plantings with an emphasis on compatibility with the Bird City

Illinois Program.

3. Drain channel establishment to enhance stormwater discharge quality.

4. Native tree planting throughout the basin, including the embankments and

surface grade.

SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS:

Interested parties shall submit a not to exceed submittal of fifteen - (15) pages that

includes:

 Statement of experience with similar projects including locations, project cost and

project contact information.

 Description of project understanding and contractor’s approach to meet project

goals.

 Proposal to complete the work, including a sub-proposal that addresses each

item within the Scope of Work listed above.

 Three- (3) references.

 State of Illinois BEP Certifications for all participating contractors and sub-

contractors. These certifications do not count as part of the submittal packet.
