AGREEMENT WITH APPLIED ECOLOGICAL SERVICES FOR
2019 ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MAINTENANCE SERVICES
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve Agreement with Applied
Ecological Services for maintenance of natural resources in 2019.
Overview
The City's natural resources management program is designed to manage, promote and protect
the City's natural resources. Examples of natural resources include waterway channels/creeks,
greenway corridors, ponds, prairies, wetlands and woodlands. Each year, the City implements
management strategies intended to preserve and enhance the quality of the City's natural
resources. This year's program includes restoration practices and mechanical/chemical treatments
designed to manage the spread of invasive species such as buckthorn, parsnip, ragweed, thistle,
wild Siberian Elm and Japanese Knotweed.
The City received four quotes for the 2019 large area vegetation maintenance locations. The
quotes ranged from a low quote of $33,635 submitted by Applied Ecological Services to a high
quote of $49,880. The attached Agreement establishes the scope of work, cost and schedule for
completing maintenance. All scheduled management strategies are programmed to be completed
in 2019.
Primary Issues to Consider

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Section 1 –Meetings
1.1 Pre-Season Meeting: Prior to any work conducted by contractor, a meeting with Environmental
Resources staff that includes contractor’s field staff/lead must be conducted. We will discuss
schedule, field staff contacts, confirm areas if needed, access points, etc.
1.2 Mid-season Meeting: After first round of treatments occur, meet to discuss any changes needed
in the plan for the remainder of the year (meet on-site if needed).
Section 2 – Timing of Weed Control
2.1 Inspection of Area
Inspections should be conducted based on growing season and weed cycles.
2.2 Scheduling
Maintenance is to occur before seed-out of weedy species. Invasive species are to be controlled
by mechanical or chemical means during the growing season as indicated on map exhibits and
quote sheet, as well as when needed. Early season control for thistle seems to be the most
effective. Environmental Resources staff must be contacted 24 hours prior to
maintenance activities. City contact is Ann Messerschmidt (952) 985-4528;
amesserschmidt@lakevillemn.gov.
Section 3 – Type of Maintenance
3.1 Mechanical Removal
Mechanical tools can be used as needed, but ensure soil disturbance is kept to a minimum.
Avoid desirable native species.
3.2 Chemical Use
Spot spraying is preferred to vast area spraying. Amount and type of chemical used should
be considered and label should always be followed. When spraying near water, “water safe”
chemicals are to be used. Avoid spraying on windy days to avoid drift.
Section 4 – General Guidance
4.1 Weedy Species
The goal is to have the area contain as few weed species as possible with particular attention
paid to removal of thistle, ragweed, stinging nettle, wild parsnip, and buckthorn. We
understand continual maintenance is required to keep these species in control.
4.2 Native Species
Doc. #
RNK: 9
Native forbs and grasses are the most desirable plants at each location. All maintenance
efforts should be conducted to enhance native species with preference to forbs.
Section 5 – Site Specific Information
5.1 205th Street Channel, Outlot A, Marion Village (Location 1)
Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means three times during the
spring/early summer. Mainly trying to control ragweed, thistle, and stinging nettle on both
sides of the channel. Several potted trees and shrubs, as well as red-osier dogwood live
stakes were added to this area in late fall 2017, so use caution when spraying around the
new vegetation.
5.2 Old Agriculture Field Areas A & B (Location 2)
Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means one time before new growth
gets over 8". Target control of: wild parsnip, thistle, ragweed, & stinging nettle. If
suggesting a different approach please discuss prior to implementing practice.
5.3 Old Agriculture Field Area C (Location 3)
Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means one time during the growing
season. Use early season chemical control (spray before new growth gets over 8").
Target control of: thistle, ragweed, & stinging nettle. If suggesting a different approach
please discuss prior to implementing practice.
5.4 Ritter Farm Park (19300 Ritter Trail) (Location 4)
Prairie (4A) – Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means one time during
the spring/early summer. The prairie should be managed to keep trees out as well as
invasives and managed to promote forbs.
Hill Slope (4B) – Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means two times
during the growing season. This area needs simple spot spraying throughout before seed-
out of undesirable species and spray woodchip trail to keep weed free.
Environemtnal Learning Center Woodland (4C) – Invasive species control by mechanical
or chemical means two times during the growing season. Control thistle and other
invasives in summer and perform fall treatment of buckthorn when spraying will not harm
native plants.
Japanese Knotweed near Gazebo (4D) – Invasive species control by chemical means one
time during the growing season after flowering begins in August with Milestone at a rate
of 0.5 oz/3 gallons. Contact city Environmental Resources staff before conducting
treatment.
5.5 East Lake Community Park (16700 Pilot Knob Road) (Location 5)
Prairie (5A) – Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means one time during
the growing season. Keep all young oaks, but eliminate other encroaching trees and shrubs
out of grass area with management geared toward promotion of forbs and spot spraying
invasives.
Woodland (5B) – Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means two times
during the growing season. Summer control of garlic mustard, thistle, and other invasives.
Doc. #
RNK: 10
Late fall control of buckthorn to not harm native species. Make sure to get transition area
to prairie (Area A) well covered (often missed and needs attention).
Mitigation and Pond (5C) – Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means
one time during the growing season. Spot spray invasives. Specific removal of willow
may be needed in the 16,400 sq. ft. area to keep them from spreading throughout the
basin.
Woodland replanted area (5D) - Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means
one time during the growing season. Avoid spraying around young tree plantings that were
installed in late 2018 (have white tree guards around them). May need mechanical control
if buckthorn is an issue in this area.
5.6 Shady Oak Grove – Wetland Mitigation, Outlot A (Location 6)
Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means one time during the growing
season before thistle goes to seed. There is a decent diversity of species here and not many
weeds, so maintenance here should be minimal. Manage to promote forbs.
5.7 Kensington Park South Pond Slope (20600 Kensington Blvd.) (Location 7)
Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means two times during the growing
season. Manage to promote forbs. Manage weeds before they go to seed.
5.8 Valley Lake Woodland, Outlot A, Valley Lake 1st Addition (Location 8)
Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means two times during the year.
Spring/summer treatment of burdock, thistle and other exotics. Fall treatment of buckthorn.
Anything native should be kept/avoided.
5.9 South Lake Marion Ponds (Location 9 A&B)
Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means two times during the year. Both
sites need focus of spot spraying of ragweed, thistle, stinging nettle or other noxious weeds.
Area B manage for promotion of forbs.
5.10 Agriculture Field Area D, Outlot A, South Creek Addition (Location 10)
Invasive species control by mechanical or chemical means two times during the year. Focus
on controlling ragweed, thistle and stinging nettle before they go to seed.
5.11. Agriculture Field Area E, Outlot A, Airlake Development 4th Addition E (Location 11)
