Re: Bicentennial Park Improvements - 1987, Phase I
We opened bids for the proposed improvements to the City's Bicentennial Park on
January 14, at 10: A.M.
The scope of work for this phase consists of paving and drainage improvements.
There was an alternate bid for concrete pavement in the parking lot and drive,
the base bid being for HMAC pavement.
The low bidder for the base bid of HMAC was James B. Arnold Construction, Inc.
Their bid was $75,077.03.
The low bid for the alternate of concrete was Atlas -Tuck Concrete, Inc. Their bid
was $86,164.46.
We recommend that the city award the contract to Atlas -Tuck Concrete, Inc. It is
our opinion that for the $11,087.43 difference in prices, the city will benefit
from savings in long term maintenance of the facility. The budget amount was
116,057.00 for these improvements.
We feel that the plan prepared satisfies the objectives as set forth to our
office, and is well within the budget. There will be additional expenses to come,
such as shaping the drainage swells, seeding and sodding, an irrigation system,
and fencing. Plans for these items are being finalized now and we anticipate bids
in the very near future. There is money budgeted for this work as well.
We also recommend that the city seriously consider requiring concrete materials
in the streets for all new subdivisions. Many cities are now requiring this by
ordinance.
Hopefully, these recommendations will meet with your approval. If you have any
questions or comments, please contact us.
Respectfully,
f,
