The City Council approved $155,000.00 in funding for the Pirate Cove Improvements Project, R26-05 in the FY 26 CIP.  The project scope is to convert an area formerly used as a sand volley ball court into a concrete plaza with two picnic shelters.  The most recent opinion of probable cost for the projects (construction and remaining consultant fees is $154,993.75. 

Should the bid come in over the approved budget, we can omit a $15,000.00 line item for the removal of the sand, demolition of some concrete and miscellaneous items.  If necessary, our crews could compete the work. 

The project team may have the option to complete the concrete work prior to the opening of the pool on May 24, 2025.   Should this not occur, then the work will occur after the pool closes in late August/ early September.

In order to complete the concrete work in early spring, the project will need to be awarded in mid to late March 2025.  In addition, project funding will need to be available by virtue of the Council's approval of a reimbursement resolution for bond spending.   

Council's approval typically occurs by mid-March or early April. The project team is completing the public hearing process in advance so the contract can be awarded once, and only when, the project funding becomes available.

That the Mayor is authorized to initiate the Pirate Cove Improvement Project, R26-05 by issuing a bid for the project.
