Background/Discussion
The current budget for Valley View Dog Park, Phase II is $368,300. The City received three bids upon the bid closing on May 23, 2023. The three bidders and amounts are:
Elkhorn West Construction, Inc - $578,046.02
Bluffs Paving and Utility Company, Inc. - $585,891.76
ELEVATE Construction - $647,542
The apparent low bid exceeds the current budget by $209,746.02.
Although, a dog park is still necessary for the community, given the current budget, Staff recommends these bids be rejected. A review of the current design will occur to determine where cost savings may occur. The dog park will be submitted as a project for the FY 25 CIP for the Council's review.
