He indicated that after they factor in <br /> 6 the additions and deductions, the total is $1,747,614. <br /> 7 Commissioner Zurbey suggested that the Commission determine where they could change the specs <br /> 8 in order to reduce the cost of this project. Mr. Kost suggested reducing the soil profile by half, to <br /> 9 $300,000. However, he stated that he did not want to see the soil depth go below 8 inches. <br /> 10 The Commission decided that all would attend the next City Council meeting where the bids would <br /> 11 be presented. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Motion by Ganley to proceed with option A: the low bid from Veit and Company which represents <br /> 14 $1,915,567, 11% over the engineers estimate. <br /> 15.- Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 16 V.

OTHER BUSINESS. <br /> 28 Chair Jindra asked if everyone had a chance to go down to Silver Point Park and see where Ms. <br /> 29 Olivier had sectioned off an area to show where the storage and mechanical area would be <br /> 30 located. The storage and mechanical area was moved to the front of the building with an <br /> 31 overhang, where it will not affect the path. <br /> 32 Chair Jindra reviewed the changes Ms. Olivier made to the Central Park Pavillion, where she has <br /> 33 put some of the mechanical and storage space up above, which should reduce the price a little <br /> 34 more. <br /> 35 <br />
