Board recommends $31,050 contract for porous- pavers at Muskegon River Bluffs disc golf course
Summary
The board recommended the finance committee approve a contract not to exceed $31,050 with Forest Pave Inc. to install 25 two-inch porous-pave tee pads at Muskegon River Bluffs Disc Golf Course; board members discussed bids, warranty and select inaccessible tee locations that will receive different surfacing.
The Board of Commissioners recommended the finance committee approve a contract not to exceed $31,050 with Forest Pave Inc. for installation of 25 two-inch-thick porous-pave disc-golf tee pads at the Muskegon River Bluffs course and authorized the board chair to sign necessary documents.
Staff said two bids were received and that the recommended two-inch porous-pave option drains better, allows spot repairs and was advised by course designers and professional associations. As one presenter put it, "This is a lot better installation." For a small number of tees that are inaccessible, staff recommended treated platforms with artificial turf rather than the porous-pave product.
Board members asked about warranty and performance concerns; staff said payment would follow satisfactory project completion and that they would require a warranty (discussion referenced at least a one-season performance period). The motion to forward the contract to finance passed on voice vote.
The finance committee will evaluate the bid, contract terms and warranty once the recommendation is received.
