AGENDA MEMO
A resolution accepting a proposal from DuPage Topsoil Inc. at the proposed schedule of prices, for topsoil for various Public Works projects for a period of May 1, 2010 through April 30, 2011.
BACKGROUND
During the year the department requires the use of topsoil for landscape restoration for various Public Works projects, such as water main breaks, storm sewer replacements and ditching projects.
Competitive quotes were requested for the topsoil, and Staff received three competitive quotes. See Attachment A. The lowest competitive quote was DuPage Topsoil. The proposed resolution would allow the City to pick up topsoil from the dirt fields and allow delivery of the product for larger projects. The request for quotes stipulated that pricing be held in place from May 1, 2010 through April 30, 2011.
The expenditure would come from the Street and Capital accounts, depending on the specific project requiring the restoration. The total estimated costs for all maintenance and budgetary programs for the topsoil are pending Capital Projects budget approval.

The Municipal Services Committee and Staff recommend approval of this resolution with DuPage Topsoil Incorporated.
