PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Staff is seeking Council approval of a contract to construct a splash pad at South Park. The total budget for this project is $500,000.00. After consulting fees, the remaining construction budget is $435,004.00. This project will replace the wading pool that was removed in 2009. The construction deadline is May 13, 2016. Bids were opened October 27, 2015. There were 2 bidders, Diamond Construction, Inc. with a base bid of $385,490.00 and General Contractors Construction Co., Inc. with a base bid of $394,240.00. Diamond Construction, Inc. is the apparent low bidder. Due to favorable pricing, staff recommends accepting Additive Alternate #2 (for $27,000.00) and #4 (for $4,800.00) for a total cost of $31,800.00 for upgrades to supply two shade structures and decorative sealant. The total cost of construction is $417,290.00.
The approval request was delayed for 2 weeks so staff could verify contractor's qualifications.
