Denison staff reworks fence bid for Fairview and Magnolia cemeteries; bid opening set for Jan. 28
Summary
Parks staff restructured a previously over-budget fence bid into a smaller base package with optional add-ons, reported that 18 bid packets have been picked up and said the bid opening is scheduled for Jan. 28 at 2 p.m.; donations have helped pay for architectural work.
Ken Chip Egger, Parks Administrative Superintendent, told the Cemetery Advisory Board that staff restructured a previously unaffordable fence bid and repackaged it to increase the likelihood bids will fall within the city’s construction budget.
Chip Egger said the base bid was changed from a 6-foot fence to a 4-foot fence and that several components — columns, sodding and other items — were removed from the base and listed as bid options so the city can add them later as funds allow. "We removed this as a 6 foot fence and turned the base bid into a 4 foot fence," Egger said.
