Parks Commission Meeting Minutes July 9, 2001 Page 3 1 had thought the door would be of a simple design. Ms. Olivier suggested several design changes 2 and types of doors that could be considered. 3 Consensus was reached for Scheme B with a scissor truss design. 4 Ms. Olivier stated a mice design can be created with the truss to assure it is aesthetically pleasing. 5 She noted that Scheme A is 1,689 square feet and estimated to cost $286,534 (materials 6 only) with a probable cost of$418,092. Scheme B is 1,712 square feet and estimated to 7 cost$291,122 (materials only) with a probable cost of$424,786. It was noted the 8 probable cost includes equipment, OHP, bond, liability, and a 15% contingency. 9 Mr. Zurbey asked about costs to date on this project. Councilmember Hodson stated he does not 10 know that amount. Mr. Zurbey asked if the Council has directed staff to seek grant funds. 11 Mr. Hartman advised that the Council directed the Parks Commission to revise the plan to stay 12 within a budget of$2.3 million. 13 Ms. Olivier reviewed options to return to the Council for more money, reduce the floor plan by 14 one bay in the warming house and one bay in the picnic pavilion, draft a referendum for Central 15 Park and Water Tower Park alone or draft jointly with the public works building and fire station, 16 or place the project on hold for one or two years. Ms. Olivier cautioned that the costs will only 17 increase so delaying the project is not a good option to consider. 18 Commissioner Jenson stated he would not support returning to the Council for more money, 19 noting the Council has already indicated the level of affordability. 20 Mr. Zurbey asked if the money already spent on this project is included in that budget. Mr. 21 Hartman estimated that $85,000 has been spent so far. 22 Chair Jindra suggested that bids be received and then discussed with the Council at the upcoming 23 joint meeting. Ms. Olivier stated if the bids are high, it could be rebid in January when bids may 24 be more-competitive. 25 Mr. Zurbey asked how close the estimates are. Ms. Olivier stated she believes they are very 26 close since the contractor used has been within 0% to 10% on other estimates. 27 Ms. Olivier stated another-option would be to eliminate the tongue and groove ceiling and use 28 plywood. 29 Mr. Zurbey stated he supports the suggestion by Chair Jindra to get bids and if they are high, 30 discuss it again with the Council. 31 In response to Commissioner Jenson, Ms. Olivier reviewed design elements of an earlier building
