INTRODUCTION
At the June 7, 2005 City Council meeting, Council awarded the bid for Greenfield West
Neighborhood Park to Sunram Construction Inc. for $304,527.00 and directed staff to make
reductions to unit quantities in order to bring the total construction costs within budget.
DISCUSSION
The following are a list of reductions proposed as a change order with pricing and the overall
budget totals:
Bid Item Estimate/CIP Bid Update

Reduce trees by 44 (only 15 trees relocated on site are (22,440)
still in project, additional trees sought elsewhere)
Eliminate 5 decorative trash receptacles and use the (2,800)
standard park receptacles (blue plastic).
Eliminate tennis windscreen. This item was not in the (1,680)
original estimate.
Reducing the tennis fence enclosure by 192 feet (12,480)
Reduce the number of light fixtures from by 2 (8,000)
Total 346,000 344,174
The proposed reductions will retain Council's directive of lighting the park, and hopefully will
retain the proposed function of the park. We are still confirming quantities of trees to be planted
on the site. We are meeting with one of our sources, Aarbor Homes, on June 17 to review their
off-site replacement needs. We anticipate approximately 25-35 trees from this source, and will
continue to pursue other sources to meet the overall landscaping plan.
Please note: since the contract was a unit bid contract, technically City Council does not need to
authorize the reduction of unit quantities.
REQUESTED ACTION
City Council is asked to authorize, by motion, the proposed unit quantity reductions for
Greenfield West Park, as outlined in the June 21, 2005 memo from Andrea Weber, Parks and
Recreation Landscape Designer.
