Haslet receives four bids for pavilion, TAP-trail and drainage work; city engineer reviewing $330,000–$430,000 proposals
Summary
City staff told the park board that four bids were opened April 8 for a package of work covering a pavilion foundation, TAP-trail repairs and drainage; bids range from about $330,000 to $430,000 and the city engineer will recommend the responsible bidder before city council awards the contract.
City staff told the Haslet Park Board on April 9 that four bids were opened April 8 for a bundled public-works package that includes the community-park pavilion foundation, a bench foundation, TAP-trail repairs and drainage improvements.
Staff said the bids ranged from approximately $330,000 to $430,000 and that the city engineer’s office is reviewing the proposals to determine the lowest responsible bidder and verify compliance with bidding requirements. ‘‘Those bids are being assessed right now to determine the best responsible bidder, and once that is determined it will be taken to city council to award the contract,’’ a city staff member said.
Staff also reported other park work and procurement updates: a water-bottle fountain the board selected has been placed on order with an estimated six- to eight-week delivery and the vendor is expected to self-perform the installation; additional sand for the community park volleyball court has been ordered; Public Works reported removing weeds and delivering new granite rock to refresh the Veterans Memorial Garden.
The meeting record indicates the city’s engineering work is contracted to a private firm; staff identified the firm in the meeting packet and confirmed the engineer will assess bids and make a recommendation to the council. The city will publicly open and read bids, a staff member said, and the bid-opening timing coincided with the park-board meeting schedule.
Why it matters: The bid package funds several park-infrastructure repairs and the pavilion foundation — decisions that affect capital spending and future contract awards by the city council. The board will receive the engineer’s recommendation as part of the procurement process before the council awards any construction contract.
Ending: Staff said they will return information on the recommended bidder and next steps for contract award after the engineer’s review; the board did not take a final contract vote at the meeting.
