Cobarrus County ' <br /> Department of Parks and Recreation <br /> <br /> P.O. Box 707 Concord. N.C. 28025 Phone 704-786-7411 <br /> <br /> Wi~llarn K. Co'.~.'on - Director <br /> December 15, 1982 <br /> <br /> Charles D. HcGinnis <br /> County Manager <br /> Cabarrus County <br /> P. O. Box 707 <br />Concord, N. C. 28025 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. McGinnis: <br /> <br />Attached you will find specifications for athletic field lighting poles <br />advertised for bid in the Concord Tribune on December 1, 1982. The <br />poles will be used to provide lighting for A. L. Brown High School <br />Baseball Field, two fields at Frank Liske Park, Winecoff School Baseball <br />Field and four Tennis Courts at Central Cabarrus High School. The <br />funds for these poles were approved by the Cabarrus Board of County <br />Commissioners in the Recreation Department's 1982-83 Fiscal Year Budget. <br />In addition, all of the poles with the exception of the Frank Liske Park <br />Bid, are funded titrough the Department's Matching Grants Program with <br />the comnunity paying at least 50% of the cost. <br /> <br />The Bid opening is scheduled for 3:00 P. M. on Friday, December 17, 1982. <br />Therefore, because of agenda deadlines, ! am not able to provide you with <br />a Bid Tabulation Form at this time. However, ! will have this available <br />at the Commissioners meeting on December 20, 1982. <br /> <br />You may note in the specifications that we have requested a base bid and <br />two alternates. The base bid is a combination of Douglas Fir and <br />Southern Yellow Pine, alternate#1 is all Southern Yellow Pine and alter- <br />hate #2 is all Douglas Fir. tt is common knowledge in the pole industry <br />that the Douglas Fir is a straighter pole. However~ as far as durability <br />and longevity of the pole, both are equal in quality. If cost is not <br />too prohibitive the Commissioners may elect to purchase Douglas Fit', <br />particularly on the taller poles, in order to have a more attractive <br />finished product. <br /> <br />Once I have had a chance to review the bids I will provide you with a <br />recommendation on Monday prior to the Commissioners Meeting. If you have <br />any questions concerning the attached proposal please feel free to contact <br />me at your convenience. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />William K. Cowan, Director <br /> <br />cc: Cabarrus Board of Commissioners <br /> <br /> <br />
