CASE #4 <br /> <br /> CENTRAL PARK PAVING <br />By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer and <br />Ryan Schroeder, City Administrator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the regular Council meeting of April 14, 1992, Council directed the discussion of authorizing <br />the paving of the Central Park parking lot to be referred to the Budget Committee for their <br />recommendation. The following is the case as presented at that meeting. <br /> <br />Improvement Project #91-14 involves providing the curb, gutter, street and trail improvements to <br />the Wood Pond Projects subdivision. In addition, an alternative bid was solicited for the paving of <br />the Central Park parking lot, since both projects are primarily paving projects. The bids were <br />opened on Thursday, April 9, 1992. <br /> <br />Eight contractors submitted proposals on the work with the lowest bidder being Bauerly Brothers, <br />Inc. in the amount of $182,277.20. A copy of the bid tabulation is attached along with the bid <br />schedule from Bauerly Brothers, Inc. It should be noted that Schedules A, B and C amount to <br />$156,018 compared to the Engineer's estimate of $183,735. This amount will be financed by <br />assessments against the Wood Pond Projects improvements. Schedule D, which represents the <br />cost of paving the Central Park parking lot, was bid at $26,259.50 compared to the Engineer's <br />estimate of $33,350. Funding for this project will come from the $40,000 earmarked for this <br />project in the 1992 Parks and Recreation budget funded from the Park Trust Fund. <br /> <br />The paving of the Central Park parking lot was discussed at a recent Budget Committee meeting. <br />At that meeting, a concern for local government aid reductions and the resultant impact on the <br />General Fund was discussed. As Council is aware, this project, funded from a dedicated trust <br />fund, has a balance derived primarily from park dedication fees with the stated purpose of park <br />development. Using this fund to provide a subsidy to the General Fund would not be good public <br />policy given the source of the dollars within the fund. Further, the bid is 66% of the budget <br />allocation because of being able to leverage the larger project. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend to City Council to adopt a resolution receiving bids and awarding contract <br />for the paving of Central Park parking lot. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />City Engineer <br />Project Manager <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />BC:04/28/92 <br /> <br /> <br />
