SUBJECT:
Corner Memorial , Mitchell. Park, City Plan No. N-55Y
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
By resolution, approve the award of a contract in the amount to
$44, 323 .00 to Whitaker Construction for the Corner Memorial ,
Mitchell Park, City Plan No. N-55Y; authorize the Mayor to sign
contract documents.
BACKGROUND:
The bids submitted by three contractors were opened on June 22 , 1989 .
Whitaker Construction submitted the low bid of $44, 323 .00 . The high
bid was $46, 800. 00
Although the low bid is 17 percent above the engineer' s estimate, the
closeness of the bids confirms that this is the reasonable cost of
doing the project. The bid is still considerably less than the
original estimate of $60,000 that was provided with the concept
drawings last August. This reflects concerted effort on the part of
Staff to reduce the cost as directed by Council .
Accomplishment of this project will complete the actions that were
recommended in response to citizens concerned that poor visibility
was a safety problem in the park. Removal of the wall and opening of
shrub areas have provided increased visibility.
The project conforms to instructions received from the ARC , the Parks
and Recreation Commission, and the Committee made up of Councilwoman
Pinard, Councilman Reiss, neighborhood representatives Mr. Morganson
and Mrs. Harter, Veterans representative Mr. Van Harreveld, City
Administrative Officer John Dunn, and Parks a Buildings Manager Lane
Wilson.
The plans were reviewed by Mr. Van Harreveld and Mr. Morganson. Both
individuals were pleased with the final results.
In conformance with water conservation guidelines, new plant material
will not be placed at this time. The irrigation system will be
installed and the planting beds prepared, but the planting will be
accomplished by City workers after water conservation measures are
relaxed. l
