Resolution 2019-025 Awarding a Contract for Tennis Court Improvements <br />for Cummings, Hazelnut and Royal Hills Parks Projects to Bituminous <br />Roadways for the Base Bid and Declining the Bid Alternate for Hazelnut Park <br /> <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom stated on July 16 the City received <br />four (4) construction bids for improvements to the tennis and basketballs parks within Cummings, <br />Hazelnut and Royal Hills Park. He reviewed the bid results with the Council and recommended <br />the Council award the bid to Bituminous Roadways for the base bid while declining the bid <br />alternate for Hazelnut Park. Staff reviewed photos of the existing surfaces and it was noted the <br />project would cost the City $349,102 to improve the tennis and basketball courts. The project <br />would be funded from the PIR Fund. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if the City had worked with Bituminous Roadways in the past. <br /> <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained this company has been <br />around for many years and noted he has completed projects with this reputable company in the <br />past. He commented further on the importance of having good material and grades when <br />completing tennis courts. He indicated the City had good designs for the project and would make <br />sure the contractor was complying with the design specifications. <br /> <br />Steven Foss, WSB, introduced himself to the Council and stated he was present to take comments <br />or questions. He explained he had worked successfully with Bituminous Roadways on several <br />projects in recent years. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked if the bids came back higher than expected because the project <br />was bid mid-summer. <br /> <br />Mr. Foss reported this was the case. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes questioned if the Council should reject the bids and hold off on the <br />project until 2020. <br /> <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom indicated the Council could reject <br />all the bids and have the project rebid this winter or early spring. He reported the only risk would <br />be the bids could come back higher. <br />Councilmember McClung commented if the bids were rejected and rebid this winter, he <br />questioned what type of savings the City could expect.
