FXpl»»atien/SNmmary (ctt.ch w,.. •m n+ sho to AA nr.P.Qgary_) SUMMARY; Three bids were received for the construction of a parking lot and re-local<ion of the storm water outlet pipe at Lambert Park. The three bids were: Forest Lake Contracting, Inc. $14,700.00 Buck Black Top $14,791.50 RO-SO Contracting, Inc $18,790.50 The estimated cost for budgeting was expected to be about $12,000.00 according to figures given by SEH. However, small job bids are unpredictable because they are often dependant upon the work demands and time of the year. Also, the specifications required the bidder to do their own staking,which was an addition to the estimate given in the Fall of 1990 during budgeting time. The budgeted amount for this project is $14,000.00 I recommend that the Council consider approving the bid of Forest Lake Contracting Inc for the cost of$14,700.00 with the extra money coming from the $10,517.00 that is available for purchasing park amenities. This would bring that amount to $9,817.00 which is still enough to purchase a basketball goal and other park play equipment. Lambert Park improvements have been a long time park project that has been on the 5-year capital improvement plan. The project will provide Lambert Park with a defined parking area that is also constructed in a manner that offers opportunity for hard court surface play. The re-location of the storm sewer pipe outlet is necessary to reduce the nuisance to young park users. This project compliments the construction of the hockey rink. It is planned that this project would directly follow the installation of the hockey rink,with completion during or before the first part of November The h_prnjects will he completed for the winter skating season. 46(Mary Saarion, Director Parks, Recreation and Forestry RECOMMENDATION; To award the bid for the construction of a parking lot and re-location of the storm water pipe at Lambert Park to Forest Lake Contracting, Inc for the cost not to exceed $14,700.00 to be funded from the Parks Capital Fund, 100-4360-703 with $700.00 being taken from the monies designated for Lambert Park play equipment.
