Regular Council Meeting August 14, 2017 Page 6 Equipment Services and staff recommended awarding a bid in an amount not to exceed $2.4 million dollars. A Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Drake and seconded by Council Member Lancaster. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. 17. Receive presentation from architect, provide feedback, and authorize completion of design and bid documents for bidding of the NW EMS Station. EMS Director Kent Klinkerman provided City Council with the history of the current EMS Station at Paris Regional. Paul Denney with Denney Architects gave a presentation to City Council which included design, a workable flood plan, soil conditions and related options, and the bidding process. Mr. Denney recommended giving bidders three weeks to get their packets in and estimated it would take six to eight months to build the building once the site work was done. Mr. Denney answered questions from City Council. A Motion to authorize completion of design and bid documents for bidding was made by Mayor Clifford and seconded by Council Member Knox. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. 18. Receive presentation, and authorize the commencement of fund-raising activities for playgrounds at Oak and Wade Parks. Mr. Godwin referenced the bond proceeds of $500,000 that had been authorized by the voters for park improvements and said it was the City's plan to try to multiply the funding by actively seeking grant support from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and fundraising locally. He also said the internal staff workgroup had been working for many months. Mr. Godwin said staff was proposing a two-part program of work, and that the first phase would cost about $240,000 and would cover the costs of replacing most of the playgrounds at Oak and Wade Parks. He said the goal was to raise half of that budget through fund-raising and the rest would be paid from bond proceeds and ADA funding. Mr. Godwin said the second phase would use the remaining almost $400,000 in bond proceeds and hopefully would be doubled with a match from TPWD. After answering questions from City Council, it was a consensus for Mr. Godwin to proceed with the fund-raising activities for playgrounds at Oak and Wade Parks. 19.
