<br />The following summary information is the result of the research completed for the <br />Centerville Park and Recreation Committee. Attached are copies of the three bids <br />returned to me between August 28th and October 1st of2002. All requested bids came <br />from Minnesota-based recycled product vendors recommended by MOEA. <br /> <br />Centerville's current need: <br />The sand lot border timbers at Tracie l'AcBride Park are deteriorating and pose a potential <br />safety risk for our kids. The sand lot perimeter measures 284 feet (56'x 86') with border <br />timbers currently stacked two high for a total of 568 linear feet. Where possible, the Park <br />and Recreation Committee proposes using recycle-content lumber to meet this need. <br /> <br />Recycle-content lumber offers the following advantages over treated lumber: <br />tal does not leach toxic chemicals into the soil or water, <br />a has an estimated life-span of 50 to 80+ years, <br />III is graffiti resistant, <br />III does not require painting or staining, <br />ffiI puts to use material that would otherwise occupy om landfills or incinerators. <br /> <br />Summary ofllie bids received: <br />Earl F Andersen, Inc Bloo1"llingto~}\;W <br />Automated EDM, Inc.
