VI.1
TITLE OF ISSUE:
Hidden Spring Park Rain Garden Maintenance
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
In 2007, the city developed Hidden Spring Park. The design of the park included a large rain garden, shoreline plantings and two
intermittent creek beds leading from the rain garden and the "hidden" spring, respectively. In the 16 years since then, the maintenance
of the park; specifically its natural features, has consisted mostly of an annual mowing in the fall. The shoreline area was given more
specialized maintenance in its early years to ensure establishment of native species, however, it's been at least 10 years since any
active management. With this more passive management, some areas have become overrun with weeds, trees and other non-native
species.
Staff met with two contractors with knowledge of native landscapes and received quotes on a multi-year plan to reestablish the native
plantings intended for the rain garden, shoreline and other areas. We are recommending entering into a contract with Prairie
Restorations to help us reestablish the intended plant mix in the prescribed areas. As you'll note in the proposal, some areas will need
complete tear-out and replanting, while other areas may only require spot treatment, controlled burns or other targeted maintenance.
Their proposal also contains some activities on which the city and/or volunteers could assist.
COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING:
2024 - $7,770; 2025 - $1,425; Alternate to save $785 in 2024 w/volunteer planting. Parks Maint. Budget
REQUESTED ACTION:
Motion to recommend approval of a contract with Prairie Restorations, Inc. as presented, for services in 2024 &
2025, with the option to provide volunteer help as outlined.

A. Company Background:
Prairie Restorations, Inc. (PRI) has been dedicated to the restoration and management of native plant
communities for more than 45 years. We are fortunate to have worked with thousands of clients on a wide
variety of projects in both the public and private sectors throughout the Upper Midwest.
The PRI staff of restoration professionals operate out of five Minnesota locations. As a full-service restoration
company, PRI is able to provide our clients expertise and service in all facets of native landscape
restoration. Along with consulting, design, installation, and land management services, we also produce our
own local eco-type seed and plant materials which are used on all of our projects. The PRI Team is committed to
and passionate about protecting and enhancing our valuable natural resources. It is this dedication that is
brought to every one of our projects. We are proud to offer the best expertise, services, and products available
in the industry and appreciate the opportunity to provide you with this proposal.
Establishing a native landscape on this property will provide a long term, ecologically sound landscape that is
adapted to the existing conditions of the site. This native landscape will not require irrigation, black dirt, or
other soil amendments. It will add a distinctive look to the property as well as provide valuable habitat for
songbirds, butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.
B. Project Overview:
1. The project area will be seeded with native grasses and wildflowers of varying types to adapt to
woodland, wet, and part-sun conditions.
2. To establish this planting, the site will be treated with herbicide to kill existing weeds, burned, seeded
with native grasses and wildflowers, and where needed--mulched with straw and /or covered with straw
erosion control blanket to protect the seeding and enhance germination.
3. Optionally, native wildflower and grass/sedge plugs will be planted in specific areas to enhance the
diversity and aesthetics of the project.
C. Site preparation:
1. Property owner will remove/mow trees and woody vegetation before spring of 2024.
2. In areas with actively growing vegetation, apply a glyphosate herbicide (Roundup® or equivalent) and a
directions.
3. Remove the dead vegetation by implementing a prescribed burn using appropriate procedures,
equipment and permits.
nd
4. Following the burn, allow regrowth to occur. Apply a 2 application of glyphosate herbicide (Roundup®
or equivalent) and a triclopyr herbicide (Vastlan® or equivalent) with appropriate surfactants, as per
egetation.
rd
5. Allow the site to green up, followed by a 3 application of a glyphosate herbicide (Roundup® or
equivalent) and a triclopyr herbicide (Vastlan® or equivale
minimum of 25 days before disturbing the vegetation with other procedures.
D. Seed and Seeding:
th
1. Acceptable seeding dates for native species are in the spring or summer before August 10 or in the fall
th
between September 20 and freeze-up.
2. All seed will be applied by hand broadcasting.
3. Raking will follow all grass seeding.
4. The seed mixes will consist of the following species and amounts:
Grass Seed
Mixed Height Mesic Prairie Grass Mix: 2 lbs / project area
20% Big Bluestem, 20% Side Oats Grama, 5% Canada Wild Rye,
5% Prairie Dropseed, 40% Little Bluestem, 10% Indian Grass
all by PLS weight.
Tall Wet Prairie Grass Mix: 0.37 lbs / project area
40% Big Bluestem, 10% Fringed Brome, 5% Canada Wild Rye, 5% Switch Grass, 25% Little Bluestem

all by PLS weight
bƚƷĻʹ A cover crop will be sown along with the native grasses at a rate of approximately 15 lbs./acre. Cover crop is an
annual grass species that germinates quickly and will reduce the risk of soil erosion on the site. Oats will be used
for a spring or summer seeding, and winter wheat will be used for a fall seeding.
Wildflower Seed
Mixed Height Mesic Prairie Forb (Wildflower) Mix: 5.5 oz / project area
2% Yarrow, 4% Fragrant Giant Hyssop, 4% Leadplant, 3% Common Milkweed,

Vervain, 12% Golden Alexanders, all by PLS weight.
E. Erosion Control:
1. Cover crop will be sown along with the native grasses.
2. Erosion blanket (S150bn all areas.
F. Plants and Planting:
1. Optionally, following the implementation of any erosion control measures, the planting will be further
diversified with native wildflower and/or grass plants (plugs or 4-inch pots). These will be planted
individually in appropriate microhabitats throughout, or in designated areas of the project. The plants
used will consist primarily of species other than those previously seeded.
2. Upon the property owner's request, PRI can increase or decrease the number of live plants used.
Increasing the number of live plants used will increase overall cost but help increase plant diversity
(certain species are only available as live plants) and improve the prairie's overall aesthetic by helping to
establish sooner. Lowering the number of plugs will reduce overall cost but increase the time for some
flowers to bloom and decrease overall plant diversity.
3. Plant a total of 420 plugs.
4. Plant a total of 54 4-inch pots (or similar sized pots).
5. Plant a total of 9 1-gallon pots. (Ferns)

G. Management:
1.Management (maintenance) plays a vital role in the eventual success of any native landscape installation,
especially during the establishment period. Active management of your native landscape is highly
recommended to give the project the best opportunity for long-term success. Management of your established
section will begin before management of the re-installation.
2.During the germination year, the project area may need to be mowed to control annual weed development. If
reducing competition. Mowing may also be necessary if the weeds are about to set seed. Optimum cutting
height, depending on the wildflower species present, is typically 4 to 6 inches. It is important that the clippings
are finely mulched in order to prevent smothering. PRI can provide the mowing services if desired. Please
refer to the cost section of this proposal for a mowing quote.
3.In years following the first growing season, Integrated Plant Management (IPM) services are utilized to control
annual, biennial, and perennial weed species within the developing native landscape. Typical IPM services
include spot herbicide spraying, spot mowing, or hand weeding. These services are billed on a per trip cost
agreed upon prior to the growing season. Rough estimates may be provided in the cost section of this
proposal for these future management activities.
4.Prescribed burning is a highly effective management tool and may be recommended for your project as it
matures. Burning stimulates native species to grow more robustly and also help to deter the presence of many
non-native and/or woody species. Prescribed burning, if desired, will be provided as a separate lump sum
cost.
5.
ccur early in
the spring, as soon as conditions permit. Spring Dormant Mowing, if desired, will be provided as a separate
lump sum cost.
H. Anticipated Management:
The following table conveys the anticipated management procedures for your project during the first 3
growing seasons. Estimates for installation and Year 1 procedures are provided in the cost section of this
proposal. For future management estimates, please reach out to Rebecca Charles (rcharles@prairieresto.com).

in 2025 with items 13 & 14 for $1,425.00. Total cost for Prairie Restoraon to perform the work is $9,300.00 over the
next two years. Thanks, Paul

Cauon: This email originated outside our organizaon; please use cauon.
Good aernoon,
Thank you for your paence while I was locang the speci ŋ c types of plants to reinstall at Hidden Springs rain gardens
and shoreline. Going o of the blue print from the original installaon I was able to ŋ nd 95% of the exact same plants.
There are 4 that I was not able to ŋ nd in the exact type, but I was able to ŋ nd something very similar. Also with it being
towards the end of the season there were some plants that are currently out of stock. I do have full con ŋ dence that if
awarded this project come spring me our nursery will have those few plants ready for you.
Like stated above, I was able to track down the same with some similar plants from the original installaon. For this
replanng project I am quong the quanes of each type at 50% of originally installed. While following the original
scope for planng, these areas are meant to be le to grow wild and cross pollinate with each other. With that being
said other than manually pulling noceable weeds in these areas keeping them weed free would not be realisc. With
the proper maintenance of the yearly cung back in the fall me, that would be the best me to pull as many weeds as
possible while everything is short and not in the germinang stages.
Assuming the previous proposal of us cung back the rain gardens and shoreline area this year so that come spring
me we will have open areas to work with for planng we could complete this for $17,150. That quoted price may have
some variance due to any increases that the nurseries implement starng in the spring, but we would honor labor,
hauling, disposal, and equipment rates from this year.
Please feel free to give me a call with any quesons.
Thank You,

Hi Teresa-
I will provide the schedule of teams at LaMotte as soon as I am able. The outdoor ice does not get scheduled until mid
December.
I have not had enough interest regarding dryland, so I am putting that request on hold.
Thank you.

Good Afternoon-
I am inquiring to see if the city of Centerville is willing to grant Centennial Youth Hockey access to LaMotte Park this year
once the outdoor ice is ready to skate on.
Centerville has been kind enough to grant access the last 3 years and we hope the Park & Rec Department will allow
Centennial
Youth Hockey to use the park during the work week.
Please see attached for Park Usage form.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources State Forest Nursery is accepting
orders for spring 2024 seedlings beginning Oct. 25, 2023. With approximately 3
million seedlings available for the spring planting season, this is a great opportunity
for landowners to reforest their property to create wildlife habitat, shelterbelts, or a
woodland oasis.
{źƓĭĻ ЊВЌЊͲ ƷŷĻ aźƓƓĻƭƚƷğ 5bwƭ {ƷğƷĻ CƚƩĻst Nursery has developed techniques to
ensure the highest-quality seedling stock. The State Forest Nursery offers 26 species
of native bareroot trees and shrubs. However, seedling selection and availability
decreases after the first few weeks of sales. Visit the State Forest Nursery seedling
ordering webpage (mndnr.gov/forestry/nursery/ordering.html) to view the available
species and access the tree seedling order form.
A minimum order of 500 seedlings is required when purchasing from the State Forest
Nursery. This is roughly the number of seedlings needed to plant one acre of bare
land. Orders can be tailored in increments of 100 for each species. Prices vary
depending on species, with the price as low as $195 for 500 seedlings. The State
Forest Nursery also offers two pre-selected seedlings packets, simplifying the
decision-making process. The conifer packet includes 250 white spruce and 250 red
pine seedlings to add more greenery to woodlands in winter. The fruiting trees and
shrubs packet features a mixture of chokecherry, black cherry, nannyberry,
hackberry, and wild plum to create a pollinator-friendly habitat.
2
Landowners can receive assistance identifying the trees and shrubs best suited to
their property and woodland management goals by reaching out to a local DNR
forester (mndnr.gov/woodlands/cfm-map.html).
Seedlings must be planted within Minnesota. The last day to order seedlings is Friday,
March 29, 2024.
Landowners interested in planting fewer than 500 seedlings are encouraged to
contact their local Soil and Water Conservation District (maswcd.org) to learn if they
offer a tree sale program. Some SWCDs also offer planting services.
