Description

Resolution approving the Fairmount Park Improvements, Phase I and setting a public hearing for June 10, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. Project #R24-06
Background/Discussion

The City Council Approved the Fairmount Park Improvements, Phase I with a budget of $925,000 in the FY24 CIP.  The improvements include a new playground for children ages 2-5 and children  ages 5-12, sensory garden, and landscaping. 

 

This project went out for bid in the summer/ fall of 2023.  The City did not receive  any bids because the typical contractor who bids on such projects was not aware this was a playground upgrade.   Since last fall, the project has been reviewed and the cost reassessed.  The new opinion of probable cost from the engineer is $788,600.

 

We anticipate the project starting in the fall of 2024 and completed in the spring/ summer of 2025

Recommendation

Approve resolution to set a public hearing for Fairmount Park Improvements, Phase I, Project #R24-06 , setting June 10, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. as the date and time of said hearing.
