m : ~ Cabarrus County ~' i; ~ D~partment of Parks and Recreation ! P.O. Box 707 Concord, N.C. 28026-0707 Phone 704-786-7411 November 2'5, 1985 Steve L. Little-Director MEMO To: Cabarrus Board of Commissioners, County Manager From: Steve L. Little, Director Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Department Subject: Recommendation For Bid Award of Lighting Fixtures and Poles on Various School and Park Sites In September, ~985, the Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission approved an Incentive Grant request submitted by the following: (1) Proposed lighting of Bethel softball/baseball fields; and (2) The proposed lighting of Mt. Pleasant Conmunity Park baseball/softball fields. Both of these projects are funded on a minimum of a 5D~ matching basis. In August, 19B5, the Cabarrus-Rowan Park Commission approved the following projects: (1) Proposed lighting of Bakers Creek Park Tennis Courts Complex; and (2) The proposed renovation of lighting system at Bakers Creek Park ballfield. Both of these projects are funded through the Cabarrus- Rowan Park Commission's Capital Outlay Budget. A detailed synopsis of the projects is attached. Even though the County was not funding the total cost of all of these projects, it was determined that all the projects could possibly be funded at a reduced cost if they were consolidated into one bid. Moreover, it was determined that funds could possibly be sav&d if the major equipment, i.e. poles and fixtures, were purchased by the County through direct bids to suppliers of this equipment. This is a common practice among many cities and counties throughout North and South Carolina.
