<br />Construction of Soccer Association ConcessionIRestroom Building

<br />
<br />Historv
<br />On August 12, 1996, the City of La Porte entered into an agreement with the La
<br />Porte Youth Soccer Association to construct a concession/restroom facility at Northwest
<br />Park. The Association provided $35,000 toward construction and the City pledged $20,000
<br />'toward the 'building for a total budget of $55;000. The City provided plans, and
<br />specifications for a structure that, based on estimates from a local builder, would be within
<br />budget.
<br />
<br />After plan approval by the Association, the City took the project out for bid. When
<br />the bids were opened on 1 December 1997, the only bidder, Oerk Hannsen Construction
<br />submitted a bid for $92,000 for construction of the building ($37,000 over projected
<br />budget). The company who had given the $55,000 estimate declined to bid on the project,
<br />citing difficulties in obtaining the required bonds.
<br />
<br />ProDosal
<br />The Soccer Association President, Randy Sayers, has proposed an alternate
<br />method of funding the building. As an employee of Morehouse Construction, Inc., Mr.
<br />Sayers has received permission from his company to:
<br />
<br />1. propose some minor changes in design of the building and have them stamped
<br />by the appropriate professional (Le. cinderblock construction rather than brick
<br />fac;ade, and relocation of interior walls).
<br />2. prepare cost estimates which show that the building can be built for +/- $50,000
<br />by Morehouse Construction, Inc.
<br />3. develop an agreement between the Soccer Association and Morehouse
<br />Construction, Inc. to construct a building meeting the new plans and
<br />specifications at Northwest Park on behalf of the City and the Association for an
<br />amount not to exceed $50,000.
<br />
<br />In order to make this proposal work, the City would:
<br />
<br />1. give back the $35,000 plus interest of $3,277 (through 28 February 1998), as
<br />was stipulated in the original agreement.
<br />2. develop a new agreement with the Soccer Association to provide up to $15,000
