The plans and specifications are <br /> essentially.complete and are now ready-to advertise for bids. <br /> r iv ate for the bids to be considered b the Council is scheduled for May 8 2001 <br /> The tentative d y y , <br /> tentative construction would be June 15, 2001. The only component left to bid for Central Park <br /> would be a picnic shelter bathrooms as well as bathrooms for Watertower Park and two <br /> buildings for Silver Point park. These plans are being prepared by Molly Olivier of SEH, Inc. <br /> and will be ready to bid later this year. <br /> Early indication from BRW, Inc. is that the cost for the Park may be higher than was <br /> originally planned last September 26. I have instructed Finance Director Roger Larson to <br /> develop possible funding options should the bids come in higher than anticipated. <br /> The other unknown_to this project are the possible clean up costs that the MPCA will be <br /> assessing the City in the redevelopment of Central Park. Staff will meet with the MPCA on <br /> April 4 to attempt to gain a better understanding of that situation. <br /> The building plans may be presented at the May 8 Council meeting with the bid opening for <br /> the Central Park project. The cost for the building at Silver Point Park will be paid using DNR <br /> funds. <br /> • <br />
