Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is a resolution to approve a contract with Margolis Companies in the amount of $28,750.00 to renovate the play area at Riverside Park per Bid #3967, and to establish a total construction project budget of $31,625.00.
The 2006-2011 Parks and Recreation Open Space Plan identified replacement of aging playgrounds as a high priority. The condition of the play area at Riverside Park merits attention because the structures and surfacing have deteriorated and do not meet current safety guidelines. Funding for the project is included in the approved FY 09 Park Maintenance and Capital Improvements Millage budget, Fund 071.

TDS Contractors, Inc. - $30,159.00
Cameron Contracting, Inc. - $32,441.64
Outdoor Fun Store, Co. - $63,032.00

The resolution includes a recommended construction contingency of $2,875.00 (10%) to cover potential contract change orders to be approved by the City Administrator. It is requested that a $31,625.00 total construction project budget be established for the life of the project without regard to fiscal year.
Margolis Companies meets the living wage and prevailing wage requirements and received Human Rights approval on May 15, 2008.
