A bid tabulation summary was <br />presented by Mr. Raatikka for bids received on August 24, 1979 for the <br />Titterud Park project. Improvements included in the bid were site work and <br />grading, bituminous parking lots, ball diamond and tennis court work. The <br />low bid was $54,353.50 submitted by N.D.H., Inc. and ~.~dwest Fence. <br /> <br />After 'the presentation of bid tab information considerable discussion <br />followed ~nong the commission members and others present. It was agreed <br />that with the funding available the entire project could not be constructed. <br />Several alternatives of partial construction were compared. By dropping the <br />parking lot bituminous surface and making use of City personnel to con- <br />struct the service board, driveway culverts and accomplish seeding and <br />mulching of the site the project cost would approximate $48,000. The fund- <br />ing was proposed as follows: $35,000 from Revenue Sharing, $8,000 from the <br />Park development fund and $5,000 from an existing City improvement fund. <br /> <br />It was moved by Lichter and seconded by Walz to request Council authorization <br />to approve construction contracts and funding of same as noted in the previous <br />paragraph. Passed unanimously. <br /> <br />Two items of old business were also discussed. Sam Walz noted that we were <br />second on the LAWCON funding list. It was highly likely that the trail <br />project would be funded. The City should plan on budgeting $32,175.00 for <br />their share of the project. The White Pines canoe campsite project with <br />DNR was discussed. It was agreed that additional details on the scope of <br />the project should be developed and presented to Council for their consider- <br />ation. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 7:25 P.M. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />John Lichter <br /> <br /> <br />
