Also attached is a letter of recommendation from Elfering and Associates who verified <br /> Interstate's references as the lowest responsible bidder. <br /> As for the park amenities that would be purchased from the State contract, some items <br /> would be pretty standard, and some items will have some options. The vendor that has <br /> the State contract bid is Miracle, who has also been used by the City for previous park <br /> items, so all the amenities will be similar in style to other City parks. The following table <br /> provides the listing of amenities and their cost, including installation and sales tax. The <br /> two items where there are options are the play structure/swing set and the picnic shelter; <br /> for these items the upper and lower prices are shown. <br /> Park Amenities From State Contract <br /> Basketball Standard $2,734.22 <br /> Bike Rack $692.93 <br /> Benches (4), Picnic Tables (4), trash receptacles $9,534.99 <br /> (2) <br /> Picnic Shelter(16'X16') $13,585.79-$16,676.88 <br /> Play Structure/Swing Set $63,473.36-$75,848.76 <br /> Total Amenities Cost as Purchased from the <br /> $90,021.29-105,487.78 <br /> State Contract <br /> Attached are exhibits showing the play structure/swing set and picnic shelter. The basic <br /> differences in the price ranges for the play structure/swing set are the number of <br /> elements. Both price options are the same size and quality. With the picnic structure, <br /> again the cost difference is mostly architectural features. Both are the same size and <br /> quality. The more expensive picnic shelter has a cupola and some other minor <br /> architectural features. <br /> Two items that are not included in either the bid or State contract purchases are the <br /> project landscaping (both planting of the rain garden and tree planting) and the half <br /> basketball court markings. Staff felt one way to reduce cost slightly was to have the <br /> Public Works crew plant the rain garden in the fall as they have done with PMP projects <br /> and maybe even get some neighborhood volunteer help. The Public Works crew could <br /> also plant some bare root trees this fall. An estimate of plant material purchases will be <br /> included in the overall project cost along with the estimated cost for the basketball court <br /> markings. <br /> City Council Meeting <br /> P:\Admin\Council\Agendas&Packet Information\2012\04-30-12 Reg Mtg\Packet Information\4-30- <br /> 12 V alentineParkB ids.do c <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br />
