An Ad Hoc landscape committee led the rebidding of Arbor Grove's snow removal, mowing, and chemical services.  Multiple companies provided bids for these services.  The mowing contract was awarded to Scenic Landscaping LLC for year 2021.  Scenic will sublet the chemical applications to ALM, a company that specializes in fertilization and weed control.  The new mowing contract cost is within the approved Arbor Grove 2021 budget. 

 

The snow removal contract was awarded to Logan's Lawn Care Inc.

 

Continued Thanks to our Landscaping Committee for their work to secure these essential services for Arbor Grove. We are grateful for their work on behalf of our community. 

 

Earlier in the year, the Board decided we needed to investigate Arbor Grove's Commercial insurance policy to ensure we had correct coverage at the best price.  Sandra Frenzke led a rebidding project.

 

This project's timing was spot on as our current Traveler's insurance company changed deductibles and how claims are paid that negatively affected Arbor Grove. Traveler's significant increase in premium was also announced by making it necessary to secure bids and coverage from another insurance company.

 

Multiple companies submitted bids with presentations made to the Board by five companies.

 

The Board is pleased to announce that effective Dec. 5, 2020, the Arbor Grove commercial insurance policy will be through Country Financial, an A+  AM Best rated company for the past 75 years.  The cost of this policy is within the approved Arbor Grove 2021 budget.

 

The Country Financial policy has the standard components of a commercial policy and will include earthquake coverage.  Our Country Financial Agent, Jeff Spry, has 15+ years of experience in commercial insurance.  Jeff is a local agent with his office in Bourbonnais.

 

The Board would like to thank Sandra for her time and effort in securing an improved policy while saving money for Arbor Grove.
