6.1.D. - Page 2 <br />Unlike previous park renovations where existing play equipment had been demolished <br />and disposed of by the contractor, this project will re -use and re -paint as much of the <br />existing play structures as possible including replacing unsafe or old parts, and adding <br />new parts and equipment. This saves on cost and saves filling landfills with additional <br />debris. <br />The City has purchased the new play equipment for the toddler play area from Kompan <br />and the new school age play equipment from Ross Recreation per the California <br />Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS). The play equipment is listed in the bid documents as <br />City furnished and contractor installed. <br />Staff anticipates authorizing construction to begin within 20 days of contract award. It <br />will be necessary to close the park during the renovation and it is expected that the park <br />be re- opened for public use by early fall of 2012. The contract time of 195 calendar <br />days includes 60 days for landscape maintenance. Signage and notices will be sent to <br />the residents in the area before construction proceeds. <br />The eleven (11) bids received on February 1, 2012, are summarized below. <br />Bidder <br />Total Bid <br />Calstate Construction, Inc. - Fremont <br />$249,864.54 <br />Wattis Construction Co., Inc. — San Jose <br />$244,066.00 <br />Blossom Valley Construction — San Jose <br />$240,856.50 <br />Robert A.
