Title
Consider Approval Of The Purchase And Construction Of A Pavilion At Jimmy Porter Park For The Parks Department From Play By Design In An Amount Not To Exceed $69,650.00.
Body
BACKGROUND:
As part of the NOTICE program that was just completed in the Hill and Dale neighborhood, the Parks Department is requesting to make some park improvements with grant funding to coincide. The current pavilion structure is very old (late seventies) and structurally failing. The columns are cracking and the size of the pavilion is inadequate for the current level of use so it was a great opportunity to replace the picnic pavilion. The HOA was surveyed and a new pavilion was their top priority as well. The current pavilion will be demolished by city staff to prepare the site.
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to assist residents and areas in a city that are considered low to moderate income based. The Neighborhood Oriented Targeted Infrastructure and Code Enforcement (N.O.T.I.C.E.) Program is one of the programs at the City of Carrollton that is funded by CDGB to help with infrastructure improvements throughout the City. Due to Jimmy Porter Park being located in a low-to moderate income neighborhood the City is able to fund the improvements to the park.
A sealed bid (#15-016) was issued and advertised, and we received 6 bid responses.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The funding for the pavilion is available through the CDBG grant and is available in the following CAP account:
