1.0 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
1.1 Report COD-055-07 was forwarded to Council on October 15, 2007 regarding
the recommendation for award of tender CL2007-45 for the Courtice Skateboard
Park to UCC Group Incorporated, the lowest compliant bid. Following Council
approval, the UCC Group was awarded the contract to construct the Skate Park.
Construction is anticipated to begin as soon as weather permits this spring.
The Courtice Skateboard Park has since been re-named the Rob Piontek
Skateboard Park.
After the contract for the Rob Piontek Skateboard Park had been executed with
UCC Group, Engineering Services has a series of discussions with St. Marys
Cement in regards to donating concrete for this project. Through those
discussions, St. Marys Cement generously agreed to donate all of the concrete
required for the construction of the Rob Piontek Skateboard Park. The donation
will result in a cost reduction of $25,225.00 to the project.
It is recommended that St. Marys Cement be formally acknowledged for their
generous donation and that a tax receipt be issued for the full amount of the
donation.
