<br />REPORTS FROM THE CITY MANAGER -
<br />
<br /> 85-75 - Letter from the City Manager ~~ adoption o£ an ordinance to appropriate
<br />$259,435 from the Capital Improvement Fund for repairs, and resurfacing of tennis courts at
<br />Cradock and Manor High Schools, and construction of new tennis courts at Churchland High Schoc
<br />and award of contract to responsible, low bidder.
<br />
<br /> "As you recall, $110,000 was programmed in thc 1984 Capital Improvement Program for con-
<br />struction of six new tennis courts at Churchland High School. In addition, $28,500 was identi
<br />lied in the i985 CIP for drainage and resurfacing of the courts at Manor and Cradock High
<br />Schools. These estimates were provided by the Director of Parks and Recreation.
<br />
<br /> Thisbe:project was bid last faii and only one responsible bid was received. Because of the
<br />size of the contract, I directed Tom O'Kane to rebid the project this spring and contact all
<br />vendors (in addition to advertising the project) in an attempt to generate interest in the
<br />project.
<br />
<br /> Requests were recently advertised and rebid and once again only one responsible bid was
<br />received. While rebidding the project resulted in a price reduction of $4,491, it was not as
<br />much as I would have liked. The bkd is as follows:
<br />
<br />Churd~l~nd High School
<br />Van Sumner, Inc. 6 courts $125,885
<br /> lights 18,665
<br />
<br />$144,550
<br />
<br />Cradock & Manor High Schools
<br />
<br />Van Sumner~
<br />
<br />drainage and
<br />resurfacing $ 74,885 $ 74,885
<br />
<br />Converson of Existing Churchland
<br />High School Courts to Parking Lot
<br />
<br />$ 20,000 $ 20,000
<br />
<br />TOTAL $239,435
<br />
<br /> The City Engineer has investigated Van Sumner, Inc., with regard to both qualifications
<br />to perform the work and financial status and he recommends award of the contract to the ap-
<br />parent low bidder. It should be noted that the construction of additional parking spaces will
<br />be done as part of the City's annuai paving program under separate contract. Contingencies,
<br />contract administration and inspection bring the total anticipated project cost to $259,435.
<br />
<br /> The construction time on the Churchland courts is
<br />Cradock/Manor courts is 60 caiendar days; however, this
<br />(after high school tennis season).
<br />
<br />90 calendar days. The time of the
<br />work will not begin until June 1985
<br />
<br /> I recommend that the attached ordinance appropriating $259,435 be approved on first
<br />reading and that the contract be awarded to Van Sumner, Inc."
