MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Steve Mullet
Community Affairs and Parks Committee
FROM: ~S Rick Still, Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation
DATE: May 9, 2007
SUBJECT: Macadam Winter Garden - Bid Award
Project Number 03-PK08-MWG-07
ISSUE
Bid Award for the development of Macadam Winter Garden.
BACKGROUND
In 2005, Macadam Winter Garden was put out for public bid two times. The first time we
received no bid and the second time we received one bid that was nearly $125,000 over our
budget. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget for Macadam Winter Garden was
borrowed for another project in 2006. It turned out the funds were not expended. So, now the
project is back in the 2007 CIP.
Staff has worked with the project design consultant Johnson Braund Design Group, Inc.
(JDBG) to revise the construction documents. The modifications should allow the City to
obtain bids within our budget. The two major changes include eliminating the main entry
structure and all work in the wetland buffer zone. The architect's construction estimate is
$180,000.
ACTION TAKEN
A Call for Bids was advertised on April 23,2007 with bids being due on May 14. The bids will
be opened at 2 PM on May 14th. Staff is currently evaluating the contractors on the plan
holders list and will evaluate the bid proposals prior to making a recommendation at the May
15 Community Affairs and Parks Committee meeting.
RFCOMMFNDATION
Staff will have a recommendation for the apparent low bidder at the meeting.
