BID WAIVERS:
Police Department DataVis (SS) $7,500.00
Canvassing Department Walmart (3Q) $1,500.00
Parks & Recreation RISE Engineering (SS) $2,400.00
Parks & Recreation Joseph Tavone Inc. (3Q) $18,818.00
Parks & Recreation Advanced Site Management (3Q) $37,225.00
Parks & Recreation Advanced Site Management (3Q) $48,125.00
Mr. Fusco: For the Walmart $1,500 one, do you guys in Canvassing not have any tables at all, is that the issue?
Mr. Lima: We have 20 but we are ordering 30 more due to COVID-19. We need additional tables at the polling locations and we need them fast, Walmart has them at a decent price. We need as many as we can get for Election Day, a lot of the schools had tables but because of distance learning, furniture has been taken out of the building and cafeteria tables are not ideal. We use folding tables for check-in and depositing pens and styluses, and we need more to minimize contact and to have more room. And 5 of the 20 are being used at City Hall for early voting.
Mr. Liberatore: Can you rent them?
Mr. Lima: We will if we need to, but we will always need them and use them for future elections, it’s always good for us to have extras.
Mr. Strom: Tony, I have a question on Wildflower Tennis and Basketball Courts. In the Capital Budget in 2016 we budgeted $90,000 total so that means these two are under budget, correct?
Mr. Liberatore: That’s correct.
Mr. Strom: Is this from start to finish, tearing up to completion?
Mr. Liberatore: Yes that is complete, those numbers are for new tennis and basketball courts.
Mr. Strom: Okay, then I just want the Board to know this goes back a few years and we probably prioritized other projects. We’re finally getting to these, it’s been brought to our attention by a councilman and consequently Tony is trying to catch up. But these should be the last two projects that go back sometime, is that right?
Mr. Liberatore: Yes that’s the end of them.
Mr. Ferri: We discussed these projects at previous meetings. Based on the conditions I’ve observed at various parks, I do think it’s important we’re maintaining our parks and keeping them in good conditions, so I don’t have a problem with these bid waivers.
