Item No: 8B <br />Meeting Date: September 24, 2012 <br />Type of Business: Consent Agenda <br />Administrator Review: ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Nick DeBar, Public Works Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7998, Authorizing LaVan Floor Covering Company to <br />Install Rubber Flooring in Hillview Park Shelter <br /> <br />Background/Discussion: <br />One of the enhancements to the design of the newly constructed park shelter at Lambert Park <br />included installation of skate-blade resistive rubber flooring. This design change replaced a <br />flimsy, open-mesh, snap-together plastic system that was installed (and currently exists) at the <br />Hillview and Groveland Park shelters. The rubber flooring has many advantages over the <br />plastic system, including less maintenance, better aesthetics, sound-deadening properties, <br />and improved safety. <br /> <br />At the suggestion of City staff and the Park Commission, Bethleham Baptist Church has made <br />a total donation of $10,000 for installation of rubber flooring at Hillview Park ($3,000 in April <br />2012 for flooring/furniture needs at Hillview/Groveland Park and $7,000 in September 2012 for <br />rubber flooring at Hillview Park). Staff solicited a quote proposal for rubber flooring at Hillview <br />Park from the subcontractor who installed the rubber flooring at Lambert Park. LaVan Floor <br />Covering Company of Burnsville, Minnesota, provided a quote of $8,716 to furnish and install <br />the same product used at Lambert Park in the Hillview Park shelter. <br /> <br />Bid costs for furnishing and installing the rubber flooring at Lambert Park ranged from $8,365 <br />to $13,908. There are additional costs at Hillview that were not needed at Lambert, including <br />cleaning and prepping the existing concrete slab and furnishing and installing a vinyl cove <br />base. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Public Works recommend that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to authorize the <br />furnishing and installation of the blade-resistive rubber flooring at Hillview Park shelter for <br />$8,716. Any remaining monies of the $10,000 BBC donation will be used toward future <br />furniture replacement. If adopted, the rubber flooring will be installed before ice skating <br />operations this winter. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Nick DeBar - Public Works Director
