Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared for contract farming at the Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
The purpose of this contract is to procure farming operations and sub-surface injection of biosolids for the fields at the Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant for a two-year period.
The estimated cost for this contract is $440,000.00. The estimated 2020 and 2021 expenditures are $220,000.00 and $220,000.00 respectively.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) will not be included in this contract because it does not include construction work.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D will not be included because of the limited availability of farm management subcontractors to perform the scope of work.
It is estimated that this contract will employ two to five personnel.
The tentative schedule for this contract is as follows:
Advertise February 11, 2020
Bid Opening March 3, 2020

Completion December 31, 2021
Funds for the current year are available in Accounts 101-67000-612520/612530. Funds for the subsequent year, 2021, are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for that year.
