FEB01995 BOOK 59 966 <br />Contractors of Muscatine, Iowa, and the other bid was from C.R. <br />Dunns of West Palm Beach in the amount of $51,900. Apparently <br />Structural Contractors is very well known for this particular <br />type of lighting. After checking, it was felt the low bid is <br />adequate; this is a "turn -key" job - they will put in all poles, <br />fixtures, etc., ready to go. It is possible we may be able to <br />work through the City of Vero Beach utilities and purchase the <br />poles, and if so, this would be deducted. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously <br />awarded the bid for the lighting system for <br />Kiwanis-Hobart ballfield to the low bidder, <br />Structural Contractors, in the amount of <br />$40,141.32, as recommended by the Parks & Recre- <br />ation Committee. <br />Intergovernmental Relations Director Thomas wished to add <br />that $10,000 of this would be donated by the Kiwanis Club; the <br />remainder to be from the Parks & Recreation budget. <br />C:DISCUSSION RE RECREATION IN OSLO AREA <br />Commissioner Bird reported that there has been a request <br />from residents in the Oslo area for a park site and some <br />recreational activities. The Parks & Recreation Committee has <br />recognized for a long time that there is a big void in this area <br />as we don't have facilities or programs there. They are in the <br />process of investigating the area, but this may take several <br />years. In the meantime,it is felt a good interim step would be <br />to consider taking on a couple of part-time recreational <br />supervisors and work out an agreement with the School Board to <br />utilize school sites at J.A.Thompson and Citrus Schools to put <br />the part-time recreation supervisors there after hours and on <br />weekends until the summer recreation program starts up, which <br />would be a good joint utilization of taxpayer's money. <br />60 <br />
