Fiscal court accepts low bid for Mike Miller Park inclusive playground
Summary
Marshall County Fiscal Court accepted Mericle of Kentucky & Tennessee's low bid of $548,687.70 for the Mike Miller Park inclusive playground and expects an early-spring groundbreaking; vendor materials were shown to the court.
Marshall County Fiscal Court voted on Sept. 15 to accept the low bid for an inclusive playground at Mike Miller Park.
Unidentified Speaker 1 reviewed the three bids and reported that Mericle of Kentucky & Tennessee submitted the low bid at $548,687.70; other bids included Bluegrass and Play Pro at higher amounts. Unidentified Speaker 6 moved to accept Mericle’s low bid; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
Commissioners said they had inspected a similar recent Mericle installation in Carlisle County and found the work comparable to a previous playground done in Benton. Unidentified Speaker 1 said the project is likely to break ground in early spring and that the county will continue to pursue a national parks grant for concession/restaurant facilities near the park.
A short vendor video was shared with the court, and the presiding speaker thanked staff and the vendor for the submission. The court did not record additional contract execution details in this session beyond acceptance of the low bid.
