the minutes move to prove the minutes of July 28th meeting second from Ryan we will motion to prove it a second any discussion all in favor aye aye aye motion carries any post any opposed any opposed okay all right moving on 3.1 resolution number 70-20-21 August 11th 2020 direct referral resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to enter into a contract with highway landscapers incorporated regarding the placement of topsoil at the south point enterprise campus public lectern okay okay this contract here is a bid we would own for to we have to reseed okay first of all that self-point enterprise campus is 150 acres and are certain areas of retention pond the seed grass seed just did not take off so we're gonna we're gonna try retops when it and hopefully that'll meet the meet the DNR requirements that's what that's what this is for okay yeah I have a question sure the first time that we put topsoil on and seeded it was that guaranteed like plants at home depot no no yeah no it was not thank you yeah okay yeah well yeah yeah like David said with this with this subdivision we tried to we tried to grow the grass by using a lot of special seeds and fertilizers so it really was a much much fertilizer at all put put on this site it's it's done it's been done before in industrial parks but I do it again probably not but that's that's why we have to be topsoilers or add topsoil to this area I have a follow up question here are we sure it'll take this time are we gonna spending it be spending a hundred thousand hours again next year no but the we're putting on four inches of good topsoil on it so it should take off okay I said the design originally was just to use the existing soils overall through the clays and just fertilize them it's it's it's been done before but it just didn't it just didn't work out there but you gotta realize this is 150 acres is the big area do a motion make a motion to approve this I have one question go ahead is the topsoil coming from a local source no it's all the top soil that we that we that was on the that was on the site it's existing topsoil we just we just top we just stockpiled it all we never we never reapplied it we just see that the existing clay once we once we strip the topsoil does that make sense at all so this cost is for what exactly I guess I'm confused I thought it was to bring in topsoil no we have topsoil there we strip the topsoil this 150 acres put it on a big pile and we just seeded the clay that was out there seeded and fertilized the clay that was out there and in some areas it just didn't take so now we're gonna take that topsoil it's sitting in a big pile and we're gonna reply to these areas and seed it there some of some of the areas with the with the clay and the right fertilizers it did it did take off just fine but there's certain areas that just did not this type of application has been done before but it just didn't work in some areas so so we're not we're not bringing topsoil in at all it's all it's all sitting out there okay are we using a different source of our type of seeds different grasses than we did before yes yes hoping that because the topsoil has more nutrition and nutrients in it that we can use the same seed that we did before but it should do better this time it'll be a different seed and plus obviously it's gonna work you can grow which would forge the top soils but no we are gonna use a different type of seed but it should be it'll yeah it'll just be a different type of seed a typical DOT project seed for you see Wisconsin Department of Transportation could we include some native grasses or clover within that seed mix yes there will be okay yeah okay thank you so this is going to be covering just the areas that didn't grow yeah yeah so there are some areas that they aren't can be covered no didn't write it just in the just didn't take off especially on a retention ponds area and I think the reason being you ever been all the industrial part those retention ponds are super super steep and I think with a lot of the rains and everything I think a lot of that seed kind of kind of got away even though even though was erosion matted yeah I think that was part of the issue the flat areas out there are pretty good there's a few spotty areas that need to be touched up but for the most part that's pretty good as these really steep retention ponds we got three huge ponds out there okay that's areas that just didn't just didn't take off I guess I have one more follow-up question if that's okay okay go ahead due to the fact that experience erosion because of the elevation issues before then will there be some kind of mulching or something over the top to hold the feet down yep yep we're going to use erosion matt but that was used last time also yes it was we're going to use a little bit higher grade erosion matt this time okay thank you okay any other questions all right we have a motion do we have a second yeah we staff has found one small typo in the the resolution with respect to the the bid amount the actual low bid amount was $99,582 not the $98,315 listed in the in the whereas clauses so to avoid any confusion down the road we would recommend fixing that typo okay so I'd make an amendment to change the amount to $99,582 is that the correct number okay so we have to okay do we have a second on the amendment second from Ryan okay okay well any discussion on the amendment okay seeing none vote on the amendment first all those in favor I any opposed okay the amendment passes okay now we'll go back to the original thing all those in favor I opposed I sat motion passes next meeting date August 25th 2020 we have a motion to adjourn move to a adjourn second motion to seconded any discussion all in favor I any opposed
