Parks - Pool Renovation: Councilman Roche reported that tentative
approval has been received from the State on the preliminary plans. The
final plans will need to be submitted for approval by the State Fish and
Game Department, and the bid forms must be approved by the State Fish and
Game Department before the call for bids is published.
In discussing the repainting of the bathhouse with them, they suggested
that this be included in the specifications, as even if the bid does exceed
the allowable monies, the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation can still approve the
bid. Also, we are not obligated to grant this to the lowest bidder, but
can award it to the bidder we feel will accomplish the most satisfactory
job. We hope to have the final plans approved -and the construction bids
awarded so that construction can be started as soon as weather permits.
