Re: Consider Approval of Annual Agreement with TO ROOD to Provide Quarterly Weed
Treatment at Dover Ditch at a cost of $550 ($2200 Annually) with Additional Related
Services Available as Needed
The Village of Tequesta (Village) Utilities Department (UD) recommends approval of an annual
agreement with TCI ROOD for quarterly weed treatment at Dover Ditch. The services include all
labor, equipment and weed treatment solution. As can be seen in the agreement, quarterly
treatments cost $550 for an annual cost of $2200. UD is responsible for 60% of the costs for the
contract, so our actual spend will be $330 quarterly and $1,320 annually.
Through an interlocal agreement, stormwater runoff, drainage, and maintenance of Dover
Ditch is shared with the Town of Jupiter (TOJ). The TOJ is responsible for 40% of maintenance
expenses at Dover Ditch with the Village responsible for 60%. Other related services are
available in the agreement as needed.
Funding for weed control at Dover Ditch is budgeted and available in account 403-250-546.308
— Drainage Maintenance.
Please see Attachment A for a detailed budget breakdown for the Drainage Maintenance
Account.
