Board awards Golden Hills playground contract; project to include new structures and resurfacing
Summary
The board approved a $326,730 lump-sum bid from Dostles Construction Company for the Golden Hills Elementary playground project, including new playground structures and resurfacing; work expected in early fall and to last four to six weeks.
The Papillion La Vista Community Schools Board of Education approved a $326,730 lump-sum contract with Dostles Construction Company for the Golden Hills Elementary playground project. The bid includes new playground structures and resurfacing.
Mr. Richards, a district staff member overseeing facilities, said the project was delayed since March but the design and bid process are complete. During the design phase, staff determined the existing playground structure would likely fail within five years, so the district added new playground equipment to the contract to avoid replacing it soon after resurfacing.
Mr. Richards said Dossells (transcribed variously in the record as Dossells/Dostles) is one of the main playground contractors in the Omaha area and estimated the project would be done in early fall and last about four to six weeks; the district will coordinate scheduling with the principal to maintain safety.
Board member Mr. Bailey questioned a difference between the two bids over a sidewalk/construction line item and Mr. Richards explained that the discrepancy appeared to be due to higher general-conditions costs in the other bidder's proposal (equipment rental and related costs), not solely the sidewalk item.
The motion to approve the lump-sum bid of $326,730 from Dostles Construction Company was made by Mr. Madler and seconded by Miss Wood. Roll call showed unanimous approval by the four members present and the motion carried.
