Hmmm! Just received the July Management Report! The one item that struck me was: Sun Bowl Softball Field Improvements (PIF) Status: Green Budget: $1.0M. Total Cost to date: $43K (thru June 2023). B&I has prepared the Bid Package; in-review by the Board and Bid Commission. It's my understanding that the bid actually came in at $1.35M???? Since that exceeded the budget by 35% does that mean that management is required to go back out for 3 more quotes per BP-7? BP-7 says it shouldn't exceed $25,000. I get it, the Bid Commission can approve bids, but if the budget that was approved was only for $1M then shouldn't the entire board be required to approve it? After all, it is PIF money. And shouldn't it be an action item on the agenda for the next board meeting or do they just spend another $350,000 dollars because "we want it"? And I can't imagine what they're building for $1.35M when the gigantic East/West Golf Maintenance building was $4M? That extra $350,000 could have been used for the Mountain View project! But what do I know? I'm only a Cardholder!
