CVZ Ile would then back fill the area with compacted granu- lar fill, having less than fifty percent passing a #40 sieve, and less than five percent passing a #200 sieve. The reason we feel this is a priority project is that by doing the soil corrections in the fall of 1986, it would allow them to settle over the winter. StatC'tl 6bia_atc for aGi corrections are $6 ,nnn $8,000.00. - Staff envisions that we will serve as general contrac- tors for this project and have contacted three excava- ting contracting firms to complete the jab on a time and materials basis. The three firms are Begin Con- tracting Company, Carl Bolander and Sons, and Mary Anderson and Sons. The place of equipment we would en- vision using is a 955 Traxcavator, which would allow us the ability to do dozer work as well as some type of shaping of the excavated material into berms adjacent to the tennis court area. The estimates we received with an operator,'ranged from a low of $60.00/hour from Begin Contracting Company, to a high of $84.00/hour from Carl Bolander and Sons. Staff would recommend that we retain Jerome P. Begin Contracting Company at a rate of $60.00/hour for a 955 Traxcavator, and staff be authorized to expend no more than $6,000.00 for the in- itial soil excavation and compaction. "S In addition to the soil corrections, we need to relo- cate the utility wires that are running through 7 Groveland Park underground, as they will be interfer- ring with the tennis court construction, as well as future tree growth. Staff has received an estimate from NSP in the amount of $7,000.00 to complete the project. Staff feels that both of these projects can be completed this fall, which will make for a smootn construction timeline in the spring of 1987 assuming the City Council approves the fundirq for Groveland Park. Staff will be on hand to review the Park Commission's policy, as well as discuss the proposed improvements at Groveland Park at Monday evening's meeting.
