Total Project Cost Not to Exceed $16,333.75. Parks and Recreation Manager Michelle Olson stated at the November 16, 2009 City Council worksession, it was the consensus of the Council to include irrigation at Cummings Park in the 2010 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The initial estimate in the 2010 CIP was based on watering the two sports fields exclusively. The PTRC and the Council both stated they would like to see areas around the pavilion and general park included. As a result of these discussions, the project scope was increased to include the areas surrounding the pavilion and general park areas. The irrigation installation and the plumbing for this project have been separated in order to receive the best possible cost estimate. The combined total of the two lowest bids is $15,483.75. A new water meter will also be needed to complete this project. The overall project cost is estimated to be $16,333.75. The Special Revenue Park Fund includes $17,000 for this project. Councilmember McClung asked what the balance is currently in the Special Revenue Park Fund. Parks and Recreation Manager Olson stated there are some changes coming up with the use of this fund and the PIR fund may be utilized for this project. The Special Revenue Park Fund does not have as much in it as it has in the past. She clarified that she does not have the actual balance of the Special Revenue Park Fund at this time. Councilmember Holden asked how long the bid was good for.
