Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Pavement Protectors, Inc. dba M&D Blacktop Sealing for a gravel expansion of the parking lot at the Big Run Athletic Complex.
With an operational change within Recreation and Parks, the Sports Section now oversees the reservations, programming and tournaments at the Athletic Complexes. Since this change six months ago, there has been a 26% increase in revenue at the Big Run Athletic Complex. This increase in use requires additional parking be added to the already existing 58 space parking lot. The new, proposed lot, adjacent to the existing lot, will provide the ability to park an additional 64 cars to accommodate the anticipated increase in programming of the facility.
The costs for this project will be $46,300.00 with a contingency of $3,700.00 for a total of $50,000.00.
Bids were requested in accordance with City Code Section 329 and received by the Recreation and Parks Department on January 24, 2017. Bids were requested from the following companies:
Company Amount
M&D Blacktop (MAJ) $46,300.00
TFR Construction (MAJ) No Bid
Ferguson Construction (MAJ) No Bid
After reviewing the proposals that were submitted, it was determined that M&D Blacktop was the lowest and most responsive bidder.

Benefits to the Public: The sports community has been requesting additional programming options and desperately awaiting the ability for increased time and space. The expanded parking allows for greater safety by making it possible for users to park in close proximity during large events rather than spilling out to less secure areas of the park away from the complex. Revenue has increased 26% in the last 6 months since the Sports section has taken over, and this is before the addition of the lot and upcoming tournaments.
Area(s) Affected: Planning Area: 19
Master Plan Relation: This project will support the mission of the Recreation and Parks Master Plan by updating sports related parks to keep them in line with the revenue they bring in and expanding offerings and amenities to appeal to a more diversified audience and user groups.
Fiscal Impact: $50,000.00 is budgeted and available in the Recreation and Parks Voted Bond Fund 7702 to meet the financial obligations of this contract.
