FALL RIVER HYDRO PICNIC GROUNDS SHELTER STRUCTURE — REQUEST
AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT PRICES.
Director Linnane reported that Community Reinvestment funds were budgeted for an
open-air-type/concrete pad picnic shelter. The Committee reviewed informational
materials from Classic Recreation Systems, Inc. (manufacturer) and an aerial view
demonstrating the approximate location of two 30'x30' shelters. The specified area is
outside the 50' river setback requirement, and staff confirmed that the picnic grounds
are available for public use.
Funding information is as follows:

Shelter $40,000
Road upgrade
15,000
Budgeted Funds $55,000
Cost Estimate:
Shelter (2 "Mesa" models @ $12,295/ea.) $24,590
Concrete 10,000
Installation 8,000
Shelter Cost Estimate $42,590
Road cost (in-house grading/road base) 5.000
TOTAL ESTIMATED COST $47,590
Staff anticipated higher shelter costs, thus additional funds were budgeted in 2006. At
this time, as actual cost estimates are unknown, new picnic tables may or may not be
funded in 2005. Staff is requesting authorization to solicit prices, returning to the
Committee for further consideration/approval. Vendors will be pre -qualified, and staff
anticipates returning to the Committee for further consideration in March. Concerning
the color scheme and adjacent campground, RMNP will be contacted. Staff received
the Committee's favorable consensus to proceed with this project, including a
preliminary budget of $55,000.
