SEP 7 1983 �� E <br />SE ... <br />Commissioner Scurlock continued to express concern about not <br />following normal bidding processes - being allowed to bid <br />alternates, etc., but stated he would not vote against it this <br />time because of the time frame. <br />Commissioner Bowman asked if some work could be done on the <br />upland on Jungle Trail which would not involve DER permitting, <br />but it was felt that there is not much upland to work with. <br />The Chairman wished to know how we had decided to apportion <br />the grant if we didn't include Jungle Trail. <br />Urban Forester Palmiotto reviewed the following breakdown: <br />Original <br />Gifford Park $ 8,000 <br />Kiwanis-Hobart Park 2,000 <br />17th Street Median 11,053 <br />Administrative Cost (5%) 11108 <br />TOTAL....... $22,161 <br />Additional Revised <br />$1,498 $ 9,498 <br />2,000 <br />2,686 13,739 <br />220 1,328 <br />$4,404 $26,565 <br />Commissioner Lyons wished to know whether it would be <br />possible to do a job in Kiwanis-Hobart Park equal to the funds in <br />the 17th Street project if the 17th Street project were to be <br />eliminated. <br />Forester Palmiotto felt the need is there, but the time <br />necessary to develop landscaping plans and go to bid, etc. would <br />prohibit this. <br />Chairman Bird brought up the question of maintenance on the <br />17th Street median project, and Forester Palmiotto stated that <br />since it is going to be planted with maintenance free shrubbery, <br />totally mulched and leaky pipe installed, maintenance will be <br />minimal. The grass in the median is maintained by the DOT. <br />Commissioner Lyonsquestioned why we should beautify that <br />median when the City storage area looks like a junkyard, and Mr. <br />Palmiotto stated that the City will be beautifying the area also; <br />he felt this project will have great public impact. <br />s <br />93 <br />
