Award of contract for restoration of the Oakdale park fountain, project 02-1347
Back2round:
The 2002 Special Parks Fund includes restoration of the Oakdale park fountain. This fountain,
located in the center of the formal area, was first installed in lower Oakdale park in 1885. The
original fountain consisted of an ornate cast iron base and a four (4) foot bronze statue. By World
War II, the fountain had been vandalized and scrapping the fountain was discussed. Fortunately, the
cast iron base was placed in storage, but the top statue was lost. In the late 1960's, the base was
repaired and installed in its present location and a concrete statue was added. Today, the base is in
need of repair including recasting of one of the three graces. Our initial goal was to restore the entire
fountain as near original as possible.
Proposals were received from three (3) companies, each proposing restoring the base, but providing
different options to consider regarding the top statue. Work to be done on the eleven foot diameter
base includes transportation to contractor's shop, removal of lead based paint, incremental cleaning to
bare metal, recasting of the 9 races, baking the surface to remove moisture, and painting. Options for
the top statue include casting a similar bronze statue, though not original in design, casting an original
design bronze statue, or casting an original design aluminum statue.
The proposals received are as follows:
Deggingers Foundry
Topeka, KS

similar bronze statue
not to exceed $25,000
$4,000

The Parks and Recreation advisory board discussed the options and recommended the restoration be
as close as possible to the original construction, appearance and materials. The major difference in
the Architectural Iron and Robinson Iron proposals on the bronze statue is that Robinson Iron
possesses the mold for the original bronze statue. The proposal from Topeka would not specify an
exact amount in the cast iron restoration.
Budget for this project as identified in the Special Parks Fund is $27,500. Also included in the 2002
program is a reserve of $3,500. Allocating the reserve to this project provides $31,000. It can also be
noted that two other projects in the special parks fund sub CIP have been completed at less than
budget amounts. Therefore, staff believes we have sufficient funds to complete this project as
recommened.
Recommendation
It is staffs recommendation the City Commission award a contract to Robinson Iron, Alexander City,
AL to restore the Oakdale fountain, project #02-1347 including an original design bronze statue for
$31,600.
