I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />FC CASE # <br /> <br />APPROVE CENTRAL PARK'S ENTRANCE PROJECT <br /> By: Mark Boos, Parks & Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Over the course of the last year, the Park and Recreation Commission and City Council <br />have been refining the Central Park Entrance project to meet the objectives of achieving a <br />quality and a appealing product, at a reasonable cost. <br /> <br />This past winter Council authorized $28,000 from the Lawful Gambling Improvement <br />Fund to initiate the project. Concept Plans were prepared and provided to the <br />Commission and City Council. <br /> <br />During March 2002, detailed plans and specifications were finalized, with April 4, 2002 <br />as the deadline for submitting quotations. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The specifications dealt with several major categories, which are summarized as follows: <br /> <br />· Sign work <br /> Boulder wall <br /> Boulders and edging <br /> Paved path <br /> Trees <br />· Shrubs and perennial plants <br />· Sod <br />· Perennial wildflower seeding <br />· Hardwood mulch <br />· Edging <br /> <br />Six individual contractors provided quotes on this project, three on the sig, n work and <br />three that bid on all of the wall and landscape elements. <br /> <br />The sign bids came in at $9,893.75, $14,869 and $16,889 dollars. <br />The wall and landscape quotes were $56,368', $59,082 and $65,648 dollars. <br /> <br />Combining the lowest quote on the sign and the middle quote on the landscape, (*the low <br />bid did not include the path), results in a project cost of $68,975.75 dollars. <br /> <br />However, by separating some of the elements the project cost can be reduced $9,365.82 <br />dollars, for a total of $59,609.93. City forces in any instance will be hauling soil and <br />providing grading of the site, in addition to inspections and coordination of the various <br />trades. <br /> <br />-209- <br /> <br /> <br />
