Background
On March 7, 2022, the Village Board approved a renewal of the Independent Contractor Agreement with McAdam Landscaping, Incorporated for 2022 Village-Wide Business District Landscape Maintenance Services for $67,000.00.
On April 1, 2022, McAdam requested a 5.0% increase in their fees for 2022 based on the renewal provision in the Independent Contractor Agreement. Agreement language allows for up to a 5.0% increase in price based upon the change of the Consumer Price Index published in September (2021) as compared to the September index for the previous year (2020). The Consumer Price Index rose 5.0% from September 2020 to September 2021.
The contractor did not previously request an increase which they were allowed per the agreement. As a result of more recent inflationary increases, the contractor is now requesting this increase. This will result in an approximate $2,000.00 addition to the renewal. There are sufficient unencumbered funds in the Landscape Operating Budget to cover this request.
