MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 3, 1991 <br /> BEDERWOOD PARK - CONT. <br /> Johnston offered another alternative. He suggested they ask <br /> several companies to supply a proposal to the City of what they <br /> could provide for a certain dollar amount for a certain age <br /> group. He felt that the City should buy the equipment and save <br /> the 6. 5� on sales tax, and then ask for bids on installation. <br /> Wilson asked what a reasonable dollar amount for equipment would <br /> be. <br /> Johnston noted that a bid for equipment only had been submitted <br /> for $10, 000. <br /> Chair Flint felt that they may be able to save money that way. <br /> Johnston explained they would have to establish �arameters , such <br /> as post type and slide type. <br /> Ilse suggested they set up a sub-committee to decide parameters. <br /> Johnston noted that the equipment companies can supply � list of <br /> installers from the area. <br /> Ilse, Johnston and Vongries volunteered for the sub-committee. <br /> Wilson suqgested they try to avoid bright colored plastic in <br /> order to better blend in with the area. <br /> Vongries disaqreed, stating that those are the colors that kids <br /> love. <br /> Chair Flint suggested they not exceed $10, 000 for equipment. <br /> Bradley asked what the estimated cost for installation would be. <br /> Gerhardson noted the last bid was $5, 000. <br /> Wilson noted that the Commission members thought the price was <br /> too much the last time. <br /> Johnston noted he was not opposed to the price, but rather the <br /> lack of competitive bids. <br /> Wilson noted that this is only one of several parks which needs <br /> to be updated. She suggested the sub-committee come up with a <br /> recommendation for purchase of equipment. <br /> Following discussion, it was agreed without a formal motion, that <br /> the sub-committee of Ilse, Johnston and Vongries be formed to <br /> proceed with purchasing the playground equipment on the basis <br /> outlined above with any expenditure of funds to be subject to <br /> Council authorization. <br /> 8 <br />
