Parks board votes 5-0 to forward Nature Park amphitheater bids to Carlisle City Council after lowest bidder offers donated labor
Summary
The Carlisle City Parks & Recreation Board reviewed three bids for the Nature Park amphitheater and unanimously voted to forward them to the City Council for consideration at its June meeting after the lowest bidder, Robison Electric, offered to donate labor.
The Carlisle City Parks & Recreation Board voted unanimously May 20 to forward three contractor bids for the Nature Park amphitheater to the Carlisle City Council for consideration at the council’s June meeting. The board recorded the vote as 5-0 after leaders discussed the submissions.
Joe Jenkins submitted the bids on behalf of FOCP; the proposals came from Heartland Underground, Robison Electric and Tri-City Electric. The minutes state Robison submitted the lowest bid and indicated it would donate labor as part of its proposal. The board did not record dollar amounts in the minutes.
Board member Larry Flaws moved to send the bids to the council; Jesse Robbins seconded the motion. The minutes record the motion as passing 5-0. The minutes do not list individual board members’ roll-call votes.
The action sends the procurement decision to the Carlisle City Council, where council members will review bids and any procurement rules or budget implications. The board’s minutes do not specify a recommended contractor, a contract award date, or whether additional funding is needed; those details will need to be resolved at the council level.
The minutes identify Joe Jenkins as submitting bids on behalf of FOCP and record Robison’s offer to donate labor; no direct quotations appear in the minutes and no additional contractor representatives were named. The board’s next steps, per the recorded motion, are to present the bids at the June city council meeting for final decision.
