Dear Mr.Goodin:
I am enclosing the water management proposal for FUCH'S PARK pond and the
canal system in the CITYOF SOUTH MIAMI.This proposal does not match what we
are doing in the Special Tax Districts,but 1 have used the same hourly and material rates.
The spraying ofthe canals includes quarterly treatments for emergent and
terrestrial weeds only.The canals have small amounts of hygrophila,which isnot
includedinthetreatmentprogram.
The Fuch's Park pond will be checked each month with floating debris removed.
Thiswillbebilledatanhourlyrate.Submerseddebriswillberemoved if wecan
physicallyliftitupfromshore.
Trash and floating debris removal from the canals will be scheduled quarterly.
Thiswillalsobeonanhourlyrate.
Iwould expect the following hoursforeacharea:
Fuch's Park-1to 1.5 hours/month @ $48.00/hour=$864.00 annually
Canals-20-24 hours/quarterly @ $48.00/hour=$4608.00annually
Additional trash and debris removal would be available at the same rate.We will
needaspotto offload thedebrisaftercollection.
