Title
Centennial Park Play Unit Bid Award
History
Three bids were received for the installation of the Centennial Park Play Unit and opened on August 22, 2012 at 11:00 AM. Fuertes Systems Landscaping Inc. of Plainfield submitted the low bid with a cost not to exceed $255,729.70. This bid amount did not include Alternate “A” - Foul Pole Entry Monument; the parks department will build this during the winter at a quarter of the cost.
This agenda item is being considered by the Parks & Recreation Committee and the Village Board of Trustees meeting on the same night. Village Board approval will be contingent upon receiving an approval recommendation at the Parks & Recreation Committee meeting.
Financial Impact
Funds for this project are included in the Parks Development Fund FY2012 budget in the amount of $200,000.00. Additional funds, in the amount of $50,000, will be transferred from the Capital Improvement Fund to the Park Develoment Fund as the RDC demolition that was budgeted in the Capital Improvement Fund in FY2012 will not occur. The additional $5,729.70 needed to fund this project will come from savings on the Sunny Pine Park project that was budgeted in FY2012 in the Parks Development Fund.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to recommend to the Village Board to approve accepting the low bid from Fuertes Systems Landscaping Inc, at a cost not to exceed $255,729.70 for the Centennial Park Play Unit installation
And
I move to recommend to the Village Board to approve the required revenue and expenditure budget adjustments, in the amount of $50,000, to the Capital Improvement and Parks Development Funds in order to fully fund this project.
