| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
To authorize a contract with K.A. Witt Construction for the construction of the Lions Park Warming House/Shelter. K.A. Witt successfully completed Southbridge Community Park for the city in 2014. | | |
| | | | | | | | Discussion:
The City Council approved the final plans and specifications and authorized the rebidding of the Lions Park warming house/shelter on February 21, 2017. The shelter was redesigned to closely resemble the newer park shelters that have been constructed throughout the city. The Lions Park warming house/shelter includes a garage for the ice resurfacer machine. It was the desire of the City Council to have an open air covered area on the shelter similar to the existing park shelters. This areas was bid as an alternate. The addition of the open air portion would be an added amenity to the shelter, providing a larger gathering space for events.
The bid packages also included an alternate to add a metal rood versus an asphalt shingle roof. The metal roof is preferred by our Public Works Department and the cost associated to change to the medal roof with the low bidder is minimal.
Bids were received on April 11, 2017 at 2:00PM. Eight bids were received from reputable companies. The apparent low bidder is K.A. Witt Construction. Staff has worked with K.A. Witt on other projects and has had a good experience. | | |

The Park Asset Fund is a working fund that is utilized for improvements to existing parks. The fund is modified as projects are identified and prioritized. The 2017 Park Asset Fund allocates $500,000 for the design, removal and construction of the Lions Park warming house/shelter. Design, geotechnical services, bidding and construction administration costs are $63,750 (includes $12,000 for the redesign). The engineers estimate for the project was $482,524.00.
The low bid of $425,100.00 plus $63,750 for design services totals $488,850.00. The bid alternates of $35,100 would greatly enhance the shelter providing a covered open area similar to the newer park shelters around the City. This enhancement would make the shelter a desirable place to rent increasing the park shelter rental revenue received. The total cost with the bid alternates is $523,950.00. Staff is also recommending a 10% contingence of $42,510. The additional $66,460 would be utilized from the Park Asset Fund. | | |
