II.G.2. BID #7042 — WEST WABASSO PARK IMPROVEMENTS The Board reviewed a Memorandum dated April 18, 1997: TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., ._ Public Works Director SUBJECT: Award of Bid #7042 - West Wabasso Park Improvements DATE: April 18, 1997 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Bids were received March 26, 1997 for improvements to West Wabasso Park, including renovation and lighting of a 300' radius baseball field, lighting of three basketball courts, construction of a press box/concession stand/restroom building, site lighting, and construction of a group picnic shelter. The construction estimated for the project was $250,000 at the time that the project was bid. The following bids were received Chilberg-Mayfield Heamdon Construction Base Bid $ 206,279 $ 261,095 Alternative Item #1 $ 17,268 $ 17,480 (Bleachers) Alternate Item #2 $ 27,400 $ 24,951 (Covered Picnic Shelter) Alternate Item #3A $ 76,816 $ 55,576 (Pressbox, Concession Stand/Bathrooms) Alternate Item #313 $ 2.145 1,872 (Septic Tank) TOTAL BID including All Alternates $ 329,908 $ 360,974 ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS In 1993, when the 1¢ Local Option Gas Tax second 5 -year funding cycle was developed, it was anticipated that the County funding of $100,000 for the West Wabasso park project would be matched by a Florida Recreational Development Assistance Program Grant in the amount of $100,000. In 1995, staff applied for a FRDAP grant for both Gifford Park and West Wabasso Park. The County received the grant for Gifford Park in the amount of $92,500, but the state policy changed in 1995 such that a County or City could only receive one grant for one project at a time. The West Wabasso park application was returned to the County. Since the $100,000 county funding (to be matched with $100,000 state funding) was programmed in 1993, other factors have increased the cost of the project as follows: • Little League lighting standards have increased to 50 footcandles in the infield and 30 footcandles in the outfield. • Handicap Accessibility standards have been applied to the Pressbox. • The Wabasso Community has requested a Group Picnic Shelter. • The existing restrooms, septic tank, and drainfield are in need of replacement. • Since the Wabasso CDBG program will provide potable water to the area, a water fountain and water service is requested. 49 MAY 13, 1997 ao�Y -� FAGEt�!
