Request/Subject

Authorization to Advertise Invitation for Bids No. 05022022 - Fairgrounds Site Improvements Phase 1

Background Information

The fairgrounds located at 900 Fairgrounds Road in Globe used to host horse racing events. Since the sunset of those events, the racetrack posts and railing are fallen into disrepair and are no longer required. The announcer booth is beyond economic repair and three outbuildings need to be demolished so the space can be better utilized for events. The Phase 1 Fairgrounds Site Improvements project will demolish and remove the old racetrack, outbuildings, and announcer booth. An additional phase of the fairgrounds site improvements will follow as funding is identified.

Evaluation

Staff recommends the removal of these structures for safety and site improvements to the fairgrounds.

Conclusion

Staff recommends advertising for public bids to remove the structures so the fairgrounds can be better utilized.

Recommendation

Staff recommends moving forward with advertising Invitation for Bids No. 05022022 - Fairgrounds Site Improvements Phase 1.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to authorize the advertisement of Invitation for Bids No. 05022022 - Fairgrounds Site Improvements Phase 1. (Mary Springer)
