He stated that the purpose of this case is <br />to review the submittals and forward a recommendation to City Council with a "donation <br />forecast." <br /> <br />Mr. Boos explained that the City received one proposal from St. Croix Recreational that <br />contained all of the information requested in the Statement of Qualifications. He noted that some <br />of those requirements were that the vendor must have a detailed fundraising outline, an <br />experienced installation supervisor who has done similar work, and be available from the start of <br />the project to finish, and in addition, provide play structures that volunteers can install. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos stated that the Finance Commission received a request for the "Community Built" <br />Playground and were supportive of the idea, but wanted a budget forecast of where the donations <br />would be received from. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook questioned if the City was comfortable with accepting the bid since it was the <br />only one submitted. Mr. Boos stated that they are comfortable with accepting the one bid. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos stated that the Finance Committee meets on April 27th and the Environment Expo is on <br />April 24th. He recommended requesting permission from City Council to talk about the <br />playground at the Environmental Expo. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos requested that each Commissioner put together a list of possible donors and submit <br />them to him as soon as possible. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos explained that the project is going to require a great deal of work from the Commission <br />to keep moving forward and stated if the Commission is comfortable with that then they should <br />make a recommendation to City Council to move forward. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rolfe questioned what the proposed schedule is for the project. Mr. Boos <br />responded that it was talked about being a 1999 project, but if it takes longer it could be <br />completed in the Spring of 2000. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/April 8, 1999 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
