OCT 2 2.1900 <br />M E M O R A N D U M BOOK 45 PAGE 40 <br />TO: F�e <br />FROM: Ed R an <br />DATE: September 10, 1980 <br />SUBJECT: North Gifford Park Report <br />At the request of the County Commission I met with Ralph Lundy <br />and Victor Hart of the Gifford Progressive Civic League at the North <br />Gifford Park. Based on that meeting some improvements have been made <br />in the Park. They are as follow: <br />1. Completed fill and grading for the outfield of the practice <br />baseball field. It took 583 cubic yards of fill to bring <br />it up to grade. <br />2. County equipment disked and graded the soil in the outfield <br />of the baseball diamond in order to prepare it for seeding. <br />(Ralph Lundy advises that the Gifford Progressive Civic <br />League, with the cooperation of the Florida Farm Workers <br />crews, has seeded the area). <br />3. The Road & Bridge Department raised the grade of the road <br />and resurfaced the marl for its full length. <br />4. In accord with the request the graders levelled the stone <br />pile adjacent to the tennis court to delineate the parking <br />area. <br />We have priced the balance of the items requested by the Civic <br />League for improving the Park. The items and the prices are as follow: <br />Item #1: 125 feet of 8 -foot fence plus gates on the east and west <br />sides of the tennis court. <br />Estimates: Okeechobee Fence Co. - 10' fence $ 2,771.88 <br />Hercules Fence - 8' fence 2,103.93 <br />Item #2: Request for a full-sized basketball court with two goal <br />posts, backboards and fencing. <br />Estimates: Contacted three firms; one estimate submitted. <br />John Trodglen & Co. 94' x 50' $ 3,200.00 <br />84' x 46' 2,650.00 <br />striping of the court 225.00 <br />Item #3: Set of restrooms for the Park. The League recommends <br />that they be built between the two pine trees on the <br />west side of the road just south of the entrance to <br />the tennis court. <br />Estimate: Cost of materials for Hobart <br />Park's newest restrooms $ 8,800.00 <br />Labor (estimate) 5,800.00 <br />Contingency of 10% 1,460.00 <br />TOTAL $16,060.00 <br />Item #4: Request that the County assume paying the monthly water <br />bill for the Park. <br />A. Ralph Lundy said the bill has averaged $11.00 for <br />a ten-month period. <br />B. A 50% increase in cost when the improvements other <br />than the restrooms are completed. The restrooms <br />would increase the cost an additional 50%. <br />
