DISCUSSION OF AWARDING OF BIDS FOR PARK SHELTER BUILDINGS
Mr. Kojetin handed out a break -down of the specs and pictures from the two companies
(Cedar Forest Products Company and Hamele Recreation Company) bidding on the park
shelter buildings. Mr. Kojetin pointed out that although Cedar Forest Products
bid was higher the building was built, from better materials (Cedar vs. Yellow Pine)
and the dimensions of the building were better. Mr. Kojetin also explained that
the tongue and groove roof construction used by Cedar Forest Products was better
than the 3/4" plywood construction that Hamele used. Mrs. Lonsbury expressed
concern over the upkeep involved in the Yellow Pine building. Mrs. Shaw
pointed out that the over -hang on the building from Cedar Forest Products
(absent in the Hamele building) would provide additional shelter, e.g., on a
rainy day. Mr. Fischer felt that in building these shelters we would want them
to be of comparable quality as those that have been erected in the other parks
throughout Edina. It was the general consensus of the Park Board members that
the building designed'.by Cedar Forest Products Company was of better quality and
more aesthetically pleasing than the building from Hamele Recreation Company.
Mrs. Lonsbury MADE A MOTION that we accept the bid from Cedar Forest Products
Company on the grounds that the building: a) is of better quality, b) because of
its dimensions provides more efficient use of interior.and storage space, c) will
be more aesthetically pleasing, d) will provide larger restroom facilities.
Mr. Thayer SECONDED. CARRIED.
Mr. Kojetin pointed out that after having received the bids for the shelter buildings
he has discovered that there are not enough funds in the Capital Improvement budget
to build a shelter in both Garden and Cornelia this year. He explained that he
wanted to erect a 60' octagon shelter building in Cornelia rather than the 40'
building originally planned. At this time, he would like to go ahead with the
plans for the shelter at Cornelia and postpone the construction of the shelter at
Garden until 1980. Mr. Fischer expressed the opinion that there is a more immediate
need for the shelter in Garden Park since the hockey season will start soon. It
was his feeling that the building at Cornelia could come out of next year's budget
and construction postponed until next -spring since this facility wouldn't be used
until next summer. There was question, however, as to whether there would be an
increase in price if this construction were postponed. There was also discussion
on the two aforementioned companies bids on these shelters. Mr. Fischer MADE
A MOTION to accept the bids from Cedar Forest Products Company on these two
buildings, building the shelter at Garden Park this year and postponing the
building of the shelter at Cornelia Park until next year provided we could get it
at the quoted price. Mrs. Lonsbury SECONDED. CARRIED. The Park Board prefers
Cedar Forest Products over Hamele Recreation Company in all instances for the
reasons stated above.
Mr. Erdall MADE A MOTION to adjourn.
Meeting adjourned at 5:45 p.m.
