Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, May 21, 2012 <br />Page 11 <br />going to be. We end up with these initial pricings of around $50,000 and then as it goes on, the <br />thing grows like topsy. <br />Ms. Wolgamuth stated, I tlunk because it depended on how far we would want to take it. Would <br />we want to install lighting and staging? <br />Mr. Marquardt stated, well, you can come up with some kind of a plan that can be presented as to <br />what the expectation is. That hasn't been done. This is evident from our restrooms at the soccer <br />field and for the roadway going in to the library which was touted as $50,000 projects and they <br />are much more than that now. <br />Mr. Metzung stated, in defense of that, that's why I pulled the bathroom project because that did <br />happen. My source at least for the restrooms was the gentlemen bid the job twice as much. I <br />apologize to Council. I apologize to everyone in that regard. That was a project I thought was a <br />great project but unfortunately went off the rails. I don't have an answer for you. <br />Mr. Marquardt stated, maybe you ought to plan for it so that this one does not fall off the rails. <br />Mr. Metzung stated, well, at this point, I have spent next to nothing on this project and we need <br />to get grass on it. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, let me make a suggestion here that will get us through this. <br />First of all, let me clarify one thing. I see in the items of the Finance Committee that the motion <br />to accept the bid from Neroni & Sons was not to exceed $52,000. <br />Mr. Marrie stated, that was corrected. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, okay, that's corrected. And the new amount is $37,970. <br />Mr. Metzung replied, right. We had put an alternate in for the seeding of the mounding itself. <br />We are not going to take that. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, that's what I was going to ask you. Exactly if you can <br />describe at this point, the pile of dirt that we see right now will be grass covered? <br />Mr. Metzung replied, yes. <br />Council President Buckholtz continued, and as far as shaping, there won't be tiered levels carved <br />into it? <br />Mr. Metzung replied, you will see tiered levels today. Those will remain to give it some kind of a <br />. natural type look. But we do have some earth movement that we have to do yet. We wouldn't <br />want to plant grass. As you look at it, there's a natural bowl to the south side. As we brought <br />material into the north side, we have to create more of that bowl shape. So that has to be <br />completed. You wouldn't want to not do that and plant grass because then you would have to do <br />it again.
