® MEMO TO: Mounds View City FROM: Bruce K. Anderso Parks, Recreatiq DATE: April 7, 1983 RE: Fencing Bids After an indepth review of each of the four bid proposals that staff received for the fencing of the outfield fences at Silver View Park, staff would recommend that the City Council award the bid to Cyclone Fence in the amount of $4,283.20. Although Cyclone Fence is not the low bid by approximately $146.00, staff has re- viewed the specifications from each* of the respective fencing contractors and the fence that is bid by Cyclone is of a much higher quality than the fence specified by the current low bidder. The differences between the two bid specifications are in the top rail of the fence wherein the low bidder bid an SS20 top rail which is a 2" o.d. tubing pipe and Cyclone Fence bid a C section heavy duty aluminized pipe. The difference in bending strength between the two fence posts is 245 pounds of bending strength for the C section compared to 87 pounds for the 2" o.d. tubing. In addition to the top rail difference, the low bidder bid a 2" line post compared to a A" line post from Cyclone. The end and corner posts on Cyclone's bid were 3�" compared to 2h" terminal posts on the 0 low bid. Based on the differences in the two bid specifications, staff would recommend that Cyclone Pence be awarded the low bid of $4,283.20 based on the following specifications as submitted by Cyclone Fence: 1. 960 feet of 9 gauge, .40 oz., aluminum coated, 2" square fabric. 2. Galvanized C section posts, 1.875" in diameter spaced at 10 foot intervals to be driven into the ground. End and corner posts will be roll formed 3�" posts set in concrete with tension wires placed along the bottom of the fence. Staff has included a copy of the Cyclone Fence bid proposal and would entertain any quetsions you might have prior to the Council meeting. BKA/sll Attachment •
