Cramer, Econ. Dev. Coordinator <br /> <br />Department: <br />CMO <br />Account Number: 0159892-9931100 <br /> <br />Amount Budgeted: $190,154.27 <br />Report Resolution Ordinance <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Amount Requested: $25,000 <br />Exhibits: Application <br /> <br />Budgeted Item: Yes No <br /> <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br />The applicants, Sonja and Andrew Tanguay, <br />L.L.C. at 10325 W. Fairmont Parkway and are requesting an Enhancement Grant for their major <br />remodel. This project is not as straightforward as the majority of the applications brought to the <br />Board but is close enough to the mission of the Enhancement Grant to be worth a discussion. <br />There were no La Porte companies who do work involved with installation of playgrounds and <br />attempts to find a La Porte sod contractor were unsuccessful. <br /> <br />Due to the unregular nature of the projects requested, larger bid packages have been broken <br />down into shade awning/canopies under awnings/signage, playground structure, and <br />basketball hoop under beautification, new sod grass under beautification and artificial grass, <br />sidewalks and installation of the basketball court which in the documentation says parking lot <br />improvements but should be under beautification. This format was done to give the Board the <br />greatest understanding of the different projects involved and their individual costs possible. <br /> <br />Playwell Group were the low bidders on the playground and basketball hoop ($12,059.89), <br />shade canopies ($20,355.63), artificial grass tot turf, basketball court and sidewalk <br />($41,197.66), Greenleaf Enterprises were the lowest bidders on the installation of new sod <br />grass at $1,732 for a total of $75,345.18. <br /> <br />The Board has the full discretion to award as little or as much grant funding as they see fit on <br />any particular project. <br />RECOMMENDED MOTION <br /> <br />
