Summary

Parks staff won board approval for a resolution and agreement with RDR Construction LLC to build a 40-by-50 storage building at Lovell Park; the contract award totals $117,691.60 plus a $11,769.16 contingency.

The Pueblo West board approved a resolution and agreement to award a contract for a storage building at Lovell (Lovell) Park.

Carol Cosby, director of parks and recreation, presented a resolution and agreement with RDR Construction LLC for a storage building project originally bid as a smaller 30-by-40 structure but recently increased to a 40-by-50 footprint. Cosby told the board three of the four bidders were local firms and recommended awarding the contract to RDR Construction LLC. She said the contract amount in the resolution is $117,691.60 with a contingency of $11,769.16, for a total authorization of $129,460.80.

A board member moved to approve the resolution and the motion passed on a voice vote. Cosby said the new building will centralize Parks and Recreation equipment near the Lovell Park office and provide shelter for the district’s equipment.

Cosby noted the district identified savings within other capital items to fund the size increase and that the board had previously indicated support for reallocating those funds to this project.
