Councilmember Introduced the following resolution and moved for its
adoption:
RESOLUTION 95 -24
RESOLUTION RECEIVING QUOTES AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR PLAY
EQUIPMENT, RESILIENT SURFACING, AND TIMBERS AT OTSEGO PRAIRIE PARK
(IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 95-1).
WHEREAS, the City Council directed the Parks Commission to obtain quotes for
1995 improvements at Otsego Prairie Park, and such were received as follows:
Minnesota -Wisconsin Playground, Inc. is the sole -source supplier in this area of
Game Time Equipment as was selected by the Parks Commission.
Bid Received:
6221 Timber Scope System $12,686
ADA modification 4.333
$17,019
Two systems were sent out for quotes, the Fibar systems and Safe Site system.
Bother are wood fiber mulches with underlay drainage which meet ADA, CPSC &
ASTM requirements.
Two quotes were originally
received as follows
Quote
Minnesota Playground $6,533.00*
Jennings $4,015.00
* $5,524.00 if ordered together with Play Equipment ($1,009.00 discount)
A third quote was received from Minnesota Playground for $4,014.00 inclusive of
the $1,009.00 discount originally quoted. Minnesota Wisconsin Playground, Inc.
is thus the lowest bidder.
-2 -
The two items quoted ($17,019 + $4,014) would be $21,033 or 98.5% of our
estimate of $21,350. We would thus recommend award of a purchase agreement
in the amount of $21,033.00 with Minnesota -Wisconsin Playground, Inc. for play
equipment and resilient surfacing.
Quotes for the perimeter timbers, rebars and spikes were requested from South
Side Lumber (Rogers), Fullerton Building Center (Buffalo), Midwest Lumber
(Monticello) and Rum River (Anoka). Quotes were received from Fullerton, Rum
River, and South Side as follows:
Fullerton
Rum River
South Side
$1,184.10
1,239.40
1,021.20
South Side Lumber is the apparent low bidder at $1,021.20 for material delivered
to the site including sales tax. As a basis of comparison, the same material
purchased by the City from Jackson Landscape Supply (Wholesalers) but not
delivered would be $1,258.56. Our recommendation is to award the contract to
South Side Lumber for these materials.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
OTSEGO, WRIGHT COUNTY, STATE OF MINNESOTA, as follows:
1) That the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to enter
into purchase agreements with Minnesota -Wisconsin Playground, Inc. and
South Side Lumber for the respective items as quoted.
2) That the City Council further authorize purchase of ancillary materials as
required for installation including concrete for footings, temporary shoring
lumber and other miscellaneous materials required by volunteers for
installation.
3) That the target installation date is July 29, 1995.
4) That this project is part of the Outdoor Recreation Grant Project and shall
