(Okoboji)– Planned improvements for Speier Park in Okoboji are being pushed back after bids for the work came in much higher than expected. The project was scheduled to start this fall, but with one member absent, the city council Tuesday evening voted 4-0 to reject the bid. City Administrator Michael Meyers says they’ll re-write the specs and give it another try…
The existing play equipment was sold through an auction that recently concluded. Meyers says they were very pleased with the results of that…
Meyers says bidders can back out on any equipment that should get damaged during removal, or if the new timeline for removal doesn’t work out for them. A slide and bridge fetched $4,050; a teeter totter modeled after an air-force jet brought $2,225 and an old jungle gym was sold to a movie studio.
