A quote of $34,500 from Connor Sports Flooring Corp. was approved Friday at the Warsaw Board of Works meeting to resurface the Pete Thorn Youth Center floor.
Parks and Recreation superintendent Jon Garber said the money is available in the 2003 budget (cumulative capital improvement funds).
The Arlington Heights, Ill.-based company will install a new surface over the old and add stripping for a basketball court, volleyball court and shuffleboard court boundaries.
Other quotes were received from Designer Showcase, Lombard, Ill., for $40,730; and from Foster Specialty Floors, Wixom, Mich., for $36,789.
Bids from Rock Industries, Aggregate Industries of Peru; Aggregate Industries of Goshen and Phend and Brown of Milford were approved for the purchase of limestone, ready mix concrete, flowable black material, bituminous material, concrete for curbing and concrete for flatwork.
The board approved a $41,000 payment to Phend and Brown for asphalt on the Beyer Lake Trail portion of the Lake City Greenway. The amount in the donations account is not enough to cover the invoice Mayor Ernie Wiggins said, but money is expected to pay the bill after the first of the year.
