Councilwoman Buchan said the original budget was $2.1 million, and the lowest responsible bid was $1,859,290. The Committee (Council Members Buchan, Claire and La Berge) had met with the Belmont School District and both groups were recommending additional work on the Park project, accepting ten alternative items, within the scope of work and available funds. Councilwoman Buchan said the Committee had also met with staff members who advised too many necessary items had been cut ITom the original plan, and the Committee concurred that those amenities should be added back into the Project. She said the cost of the additional work had to be negotiated with the contractor, but definitely would not exceed the available $240,710. Councilwoman Buchan said timing was critical and asked Council to support the Committee's recommendations. 2) Council comments on bid alternatives; Mayor Hartnett asked if anyone ITom the public wished to speak.
