Two companies presented bids to install the new playground equipment for the all-inclusive, Freedom Park.

Recreation Insites from Fishers had a base bid of $167,698.66.  They also bid on alternate one, fencing at $11,158.85 and alternate two, the entry signage at $13,333.33.  Sinclair Recreation from Holland, MI had a base bid of $284,700 and a bid of $10,485 for the fencing project and $9,650 for the entry signage.

The bids were taken under advisement for review by Park Superintendent Mike Hite.  It was noted that a special meeting may be needed to award the bid.  Hite said, “We are getting close to the construction season and we need to keep things rolling along.”  The playground should be ready for kids by the end of May if the weather cooperates.
