During our discussions with Councilmember Jean Benson, it was
requested that we proceed to secure planters for placement at two
entrances and planted with low-maintenance Beaucarnea recurvata
(Pony tail and also called Bottle Palm) , there will be four plants
at each entrance for a total of eight.
The following lists the materials and prices associated for the
subject installation:
1 . Terra-Form Model No. TF4085
30" diameter x 30" height
(Tan with sand matrix)
UNIT PRICE : $319 . 00 Ea. x 8 = $2 , 552 . 00
Sales Tax = 191 . 40
Shipping = 512 . 00
TOTAL: $3,255 .40
Purchased From:
Wausau Tile ( 4-6 Week Delivery)
P. 0. Box 967
Banning, CA 92220
PHONE: ( 800) 231-4836
NOTE:
Each container weighs 800 pounds . Delivery should
probably be made direct to site to reduce handling.
Each container will then be planted with Beaucarnea
recurvato - Pony Tail .
Please let me know if this is acceptable and how the funding will
be provided. Thank you.
