OBJECTIVE

To request that the City Council award a contract to R.E. Schultz Construction Inc., to furnish all materials and labor for the installation of new playground equipment and poured-in-place rubberized playground surfacing at Eastgate Park.

BACKGROUND

Currently, the playground equipment and playground surfacing at Eastgate Park are aging and require replacement.      

DISCUSSION

On September 7, 2016, a Notice Inviting Bids was released to contractors that would be interested in providing services for the installation of playground equipment and new surfacing.  A bidders meeting was held on September 21, 2016, at Eastgate Park, at which time the prospective bidders viewed the actual site and took measurement on the equipment that is being replaced.

 

Four qualified proposals were received and opened on October 7, 2016.  R.E. Schultz Construction, Inc., submitted the lowest responsible bid at $93,290.  The other three bids received were from Micon Construction, Inc., for $98,682; States Link Construction for $139,100; and Parsam Construction, Inc., for $155,000.  R.E. Schultz Construction Inc., was identified as the lowest responsible bid, and reference checks have been completed by staff.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The total cost for the installation of the playground equipment and surface will be $93,290. There are sufficient funds available within the existing FY 2016-17 Budget for this project.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Award a contract to R.E. Schultz Construction, Inc. for the installation of new playground equipment and poured-in-place playground surfacing at Eastgate Park, in the amount not to exceed $93,290; and
  • Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to sign the Agreement on behalf of the City, including making minor modifications as appropriate and necessary.
