<br />In an effort to expedite this project, staff has obtained three (3) quotes for the fencing. B&G <br />Fences, Corp. has provided the lowest quote at $31,725 for option 2, the design that staff is <br />recommending. <br /> <br />Further, the City Manager is requesting that you waive the formal bidding process for this project <br />due to time constraints. Funds are available for this project in the contingency fund. If <br />approved, staff requests that you also approve a budget transfer in the amount of $46,275 from <br />the contingency account into account number 20.600.56'17 (Margolis Park) for the entire capital <br />outlay for this project <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> <br />The second phase would include the optional perimeter parking at Senator Gwen Margolis <br />Park and is estimated to take an additional 2 to 3 months depending on the procurement <br />process and is estimated to cost $30,000.00. (This figure is shown in the Capital Options <br />portion of the attached budget.) The opening of the dog park does not have to be contingent <br />upon the completion of this phase but is considered an important factor as it will provide <br />parking for the dog park without adversely affecting the parks neighbors. <br /> <br />If successful, other items for consideration would be a multi-level water fountain to serve <br />water to both people and their pets, additional benches and trash receptacles and pet <br />recreation equipment such as climbing and balance equipment. Additionally, if there is <br />interest, the City could offer educational sessions to dog park users such as obedience classes <br />or certification courses. These additional accessories and services are included in the attached <br />budget under options. An estimated $20,000.00 could accomplish all of the above. <br /> <br />In the event that the dog park is not successful, the fencing that is proposed, and the greatest <br />portion of the budget, can be removed and used at an alternate location. <br /> <br />Finally, for your reference, attached is a sample of the rules, signs and operating hours. <br /> <br />Attachment: Budget <br />Detailed aerial view of dog park location <br />Sign samples (rules, hours, small dog/large dog) <br />
