Re: Centerville bid letter Kim Stephan From: bill.b [bill.b@naturalshore.com] Sent: Thursday, May 29,200812:31 PM To: Statz, Mark R Cc: haley.e@naturalshore.com; gregg@metroswcd.org; Smyth, John R; McDowell, Jeff J; rob Subject: Re: Centerville bid letter Hi Mark- The dogwoods are not included. I did not see this itemized on Gregg's spreadsheet. We like to use bare root material, and this would run $2.50 for a 3' shrub, installed. It is a great deal, much better than the bare root material. But if you would like for us to use bare root, we can do that. It would be the same price per stem. I did discuss the 3'x3' gabions with Gregg, and he was o.k. with us including this in the bid. If the larger gabions are used, it may make sense to drop the brush bundles. Gregg, do you have a preference? TRM was not included around the logs. We did include it behind the logs in a 6' strip. If the logs are set behind the gabions, then the wrap may not be needed. Gregg, again, this is up to you. Yes, the plant list is great, and we plan to use this as guidance in the project.
