GOC341313-RFQ-SAM-Consulting - Consulting Services - North Berm Re-Stabilization Study

The North Berm grassed knoll is a vital component to the CBSA site at 1 Brookdale Ave, due to the residential dwellings just North of this site. During the past winter, the snow melt has caused deep trenches, and rocks to appear on the surface. The cutting of vegetation will be very difficult; due to the terrain. The large rocks and stones may need to be removed, the trenches refilled, and possibly top dressing of new soil, and then potentially apply a pre-seeded erosion blanket to stabilize the soil from any future erosion. The work needs to be managed on both sides of the North Berm wall; and the angle of 70% is key to its vital requirement. This project study is therefore to consider new options and recommendations, plus the cost estimate for future project construction work. The concept of future maintenance costs should also be considered; for example, are there grasses or other solutions that do not require any maintenance; as previous cuts were five thousand dollars per cutting.
