Friendsville accepts lowest LPRF park-improvement bid; pavilion scope increased
Summary
The board accepted Nitzschke Communications' low bid of $340,246.25 for the Friendsville 2020 LPRF park-improvement project after reallocating funds from restrooms to a larger pavilion; some sidewalk grant funds will be used for pavilion concrete and sidewalks.
Friendsville accepted a low bid for a park-improvement project funded through the city's 2020 Local Parks and Recreation Fund (LPRF) grant and approved a change order reallocating restroom funds to a pavilion.
City Administrator Kim Rogers told the board the restroom line-item had been allotted $150,000 and the pavilion was estimated at $50,000; the city intends to use the full available amount for the pavilion and omit the restrooms. "Nitzschke Communications came in with the lowest bid at $340,246.25," the minutes state. Vice Mayor Jonathan Newberry moved to accept the Nitzschke bid and Commissioner Shane Rogers seconded; the motion passed.
Part of a sidewalk grant previously allocated to West Hill Ave. will be directed instead to sidewalks and a concrete slab at the pavilion. The minutes do not specify the schedule for construction or completion dates; staff will proceed with contract administration and any required change orders under the grant terms.
