Levan council accepts single bid for pickleball courts, schedules park installation
Summary
At its December meeting the Levan City Council voted to accept a sole bid from Jones and DeMille to build pickleball courts at the town park; council discussed two foundation alternatives and noted federal 6-county funding could affect construction timing.
The Levan City Council voted to accept a single bid to build new pickleball courts at the town park during its December meeting.
Council members opened the bids and, according to Speaker 2, "We only had 1 turned in, and it's from Jones in the mail." Council discussion focused on siting the courts beside the baseball diamond and near the splash pad so they would be close to parking and higher foot traffic to improve safety for children.
The council discussed two foundation options for the courts: a tensioned slab with cable reinforcement and a rebar-reinforced concrete pad. Speaker 4 said the tension alternative was roughly "$10,000" more than the other option. Council members agreed they would later designate which alternative to proceed with when more details are finalized. Speaker 2 noted the project is part of a federal, multi-county funding stream and cautioned that, "if we were to win this this year, we couldn't put in for a year or 2," meaning construction timing could be delayed by grant cycles and award schedules.
Speaker 4 moved to accept the bid from Jones and DeMille; the motion received a first and second and passed by voice vote. The council did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; the clerk announced the motion carried.
The council did not set a firm construction start date at the meeting. Next steps indicated by council discussion include confirming which foundation alternative meets the project specifications and proceeding with the grant submittal and contract paperwork.
