MEMORANDUM 
2022 -0010 
 
TO:   C. Seth Sumner, City Manager 
FROM:   Austin Fesmire, Director 
DATE:  August 2, 2022 
RE:  RFB-23-01 Cook/Regional improvements Evaluation 
 
On August 1, 2022, at 2 PM the city of Athens opened bid number 23-01 titled Construction of Athens 
Playground Renovati on and Pavilion Kitchen Addition. The city received one qualified bid on this 
project from Wilson Construction of Athens.  A second bid was submitted by Aspen Contracting  but 
was invalid as it did not include a bid on the entire project.  
 
This project wa s originally  for drainage work and rubber surfacing at Cook and Regional Park 
playgrounds. Due to the playground incident at Cook, combined with Covid supply issues, this project 
was delayed  for over a yea r waiting on the playg round repair.  City Council expressed interest  in 
seeing additional work at Cook  and since we had time , I had bid documents prepared to include  all 
items discussed. 
 
The items were bid as follows: 
 
Item A – Site Improvements – $456,295.20 
 
Includes the rubber surface  and associated drainage  at Cook and Regional Park,  ADA improvements 
to the Cook Parking lot  and playground,  d rainage corrections associated with the pavilion at Cook, 
and concrete removal from Cook Playground. 
 
Item B – Cook Park Kitchen Addition – $304,196.80 
 
Includes the addition of a caterer kitchen on the east end of the pavilion . The outside dimensions of 
the kitchen are 18’8” across by 14’ deep.  The kitchen addition will require extending the pavilion and 
the total extension is 27’ 10.5” across by 17’ 6” inches deep. The pavilion addition requires columns, a 
roof, and a concrete slab.  The kitchen has a sin k with hot and cold water , a stainless-steel 
countertop, a roll -up serving window, and a place for a refrigerator.  This is the equivalent of other 
parks as t he finishes are what was used at Heritage and the  size is what is at the Regional Park Lake 
Pavilion. As with our other facilities, there are no stoves or cooking areas.
