As we improve the fairgrounds to compete with other equestrian centers, one of our most
requested additions from groups that would provide revenue to the fairgrounds by attending
events is the addition of water to the individual stalls for horses in our barns. In a recent tour of
the Ford Center, a premier equestrian center on the west coast, this was one of the main benefits
mentioned by every attendee we interviewed.
I had requested a budget of $60,000 for this project, and it was approved. This project bid is
about 30% higher than expected. The low -responsive bidder is from Moses Lake, WA.
JM Pacific input a bid of $80,548.41, including sales tax. Once again, by subtracting the 30%
margin seen in bids around the region, the cost would have been $56,383.88.
It is a significant benefit to add to the fairgrounds, and I would suggest that we do not re
•ect the
i
bid because the total s above the budgeted amount. InsteadJ
, I would like to perform a bud et
g
transfer from REET funds carried over from last year with the board's permission.
The approved capital budget contains a BEET carryover amount of $81,220.24 (fund
126.168.00.9112.594186210). These are BEET one funds that can be used on this project. With
the board's permission, I will utilize $20,548.41 from that carryover budget and the entire
$60,000 from the budget line approved for this project (132.178.00.9112.594186210) and award
the project to J.M. Pacific of Moses Lake WA.
