Special Meeting of the Eagan Park Committee
Aug. 11, 1975
;embers Absent: Carolyn Thurston, Dale Everson, Grant Lundberg
Also Present: John Voss and Eldon Hugelon
Eldon Hugelon and John Voss reviewed the bids for the current
park construction contract. The bids for Pilot Knob Park seemed
high in comparison to the estimated cost. Eldon explained that in
his tours with the contractors prior to their submission of bids,
they expressed concern about regulation of water levels, the holding
capacity of the pond as well as the time needed for construction of
the wooden bridges. The contractors also seemed unsure of how to
repair the broken strom drain.
Roger Martin moved that Pilot Knob Park be dropped from the
current contract and that the bid for park construction in Oak
Chase, Evergreen, Blackhawk and Rahn Park and the alternate for
replacing the tennis fence at Evergreen Park be awarded to B Tu Mix
company in the amount of *64,9 Faye Cooper seconded the motion
which was unanimously approved.
Barb Schmidt moved that the Park Committee recommend that 'the::
council authorize Bob Rosene to gather estimates for repair of the
broken storm sewer pipe from sewer and water contractors working in
the area and that such repairs be paid by the sewer and water funds.
It was further recommended that the °Park Department arrange for a
teat fill after the repair of the sewer and the addition of a chemical
sealant with the charges for the chemical and the water, if any, to
be paid by Park Bond Funds. Neil Coates seconded the motion which
was unanimously passed.
John Voss explained that all invoices submitted by the contractor
will be sent to the Park Committee for review before going; to the council
for payment. Any major change order will also go to the Park Committee`
for review with the exception of topsoil for Evergreen Park which is an
anticipated add on and will be reviewed with the Park Director before
approved.
The contractor will submit an outline showinsi a payment schedule
in the pre - construction conference which will show individual costs.
Startin6 dates will also be determined but seeding will be completed
by September 15, 1975, and the'total contract will be completed by
November 15, 1975,
Neil Goatee moved and Roger Martin seconded a motion:: to adjourn
at 8:15 P.I. All members voted in favor.
Respectfully submitted,
