nal design by Martin. A copy of Martin Associates' Evalua-
tion of Bids Received is enclosed for your information.

ates for construction of the park were $289,900. The low bid

RE: State Street Gateway Park

• Dear lits. Niers
Kee have reviewed the Bid Proposal and Schedule of Values for the low bidder on
t6g proposed State Street Gateway Park, and sake the recommendation that the
• City Council award the project to the low bidders tamp Incorporated
460 North Grove Avenue
Elgin, a. 60120
: '.Their base bid is $289,576.00 which is $470 over our Master Plan budget
(8/129/91). It would be noted that the base bid includes a few items which
Awe. not in the initial budget.
_ 1. We have received permission from the Soo Line•Railroad Company to
•
remove the concrete abutment which is adjacent to the park. This
removal has been included.
•
' 2. We have included a 4' high black vinyl coated chain link fence es a
• delineation between the park and the railroad.
•
. • 3. A sairitenance vehicle parking area has been included at the northeast
corner of the site.
• 4. Two flagpoles and flag lights have been included directly behind the
fountain area.
• 5. The turf irrigation system was upgraded to be a self-draining system.
-The project proposals also included Alternate Bids for upgrading some items.
Alternate is ($14,100) includes the installation of 19 additional landscape
uplights on the'trees north to south along the sidewalk.

•
Alternate 3: (3 1,750) includes an irrigationupgrade to include automatic
watering for the shrub beds.
Alternate 4s ($642) increases the height of the fence from 4' to 5' high.
lie recommend that the Council consider the irrigation alternates as we believe
that these improvements will pay for themselves in labor saved in the first
-tiro years after installation.
•
'die lighting alternate would provide additional lighting along the sidewalk and
would atter a sore impacting night-time presentation of the entire park site.
These lights can be added later should the Council decide not to include them
. .at:this time.
• • •ghe'fence alternate Was in response to staff concerns as to whether a 4' fence
• is.high enough, as there are occasions where residents are using 4' fences as
balance beams. Our intent with the fence is to simply provide a continuous
delineation between the park and railroad and to make the fence as "invisible"
as.possible.
rik . Weare glad• to be recommending Temp Incorporated as they are a local
contractor• and have listed many local subcontractors on their bid. I will be
at the City Council meeting on Wednesday to address any questions which may
• .arise.
