Seconded by Sisk. Roll call was taken. Motion passed by a 7 - 0 vote. BID AWARD PHASE II SPORTS COMPLEX Steve Baysinger, Parks & Recreation Director, stated that after the master plan of the complex had been completed, they put the construction into three phases. JilL Construction was the low bidder for Phase II at $779,400. Staffhad targeted the construction at $680,000. He reviewed the site plan. Mayer wondered what would be phased out in dropping the moneys from $779,400 down to $680,000. Jim Fletemeyer, Fletemeyer & Lee Associates (architectural firm for the project), stated that the concrete work would be lost. They would go with a trail mixed gravel in the concourse up to the plaza area. They would lose some of the concrete flatwork immediately into the plaza. They would reduce some of the concrete work set up to establish the restroom area. They would lose a set of ramps and a few sets of stairs on each of the other ends. They would lose some of the backstop hoods, the dugout roofs, and remove the masonry off of the dugouts, and reduce the amount of railing. Sisk wanted local contractors used where possible. He also wanted lights for all four ballfields. Levihn also wanted lights on all four ballfields. Keany did not want quality sacrificed for the sake of the budget. He also hoped local subcontractors would be used. Fletemeyer commented that quality was not being sacrificed, just quantity. Lathrop wanted the infrastructure for future items to already be in place for such items as drainage pipe, water for future restrooms, or underground electric line for future service. Keany moved that Council award the Phase II construction bid for the Louisville Sports Complex to JHL Construction, not to exceed $779,400, with direction to staffto negotiate the bid through change order not to exceed $680,000 prior to the Mayor's signature of the bid award.
