I ~-~ Cabarrus County '~ Parks and Recreation Department ~) P.O. Box 707 Concord, N.C. 28026~0707 Phone 70,t-785-6150 Sieve L. Little - Director January 12, 1988 To: Mr. Charles McGinnis County Manager From: Mr~ Steve L. Little, Director Cabarros County Parks and Recreation Department Subject: Park and Playgroond Equipment Bids This letter is in reference to the Playground Eqoipment Formal bids for the FY 1987-88. Formal Advertisement was published for this bid on December 6, 1987 in The Concord Tribune. ~*elve bid packages were mailed to playground and park equipment vendors. I have enclosed a list of these vendors. On January 6, 1988, at 10:00 A.M. five bids were received and opened publicly. The following page provides a summary of these bids. The bid specifications were divided into three projects: (1) Coltrane Webb Elementary School Playground Project, (2) Beverly Rills Elementary School Project, and (3) Frank Liske Park Playground Project. The Beverly Hills School and Coltrane Webb Scbool Playgroond .Improvements are incentive matching grant projects based on a~ Least 50% matching funds from community organizations. The Parent Teacher Organization or P.T.O. at these respective schools have provided matching funds toward these projects. As noted in the Bid Sommary, Cunningbam Associates, Inc. of Charlotte provided the low bid at $19,550.00. However, Cunningham's bid failed to provide acceptable specifications for two items in Bid Unit #3. First, Cunningbam's bid contains a Slash-Proof Swing Be[ts ($80.00 Items) instead of specified Everglide Handicapped Swing ($800.00 to $900.00 Items). Secondly, Cunningham's Bid also contains Spring Toys witbout Special Braces for the handicapped. All four companies experienced problems in meeting the handicapped specifications in Bid Unit #3. Thus, I would suggest that Cabarrus Connty elimioate 8id Unit #3 from the bid proposal.
