Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with McDaniel’s Construction Corp., Inc. for the first phase of construction to renovate and return water to the Franklin Park Cascades. Kramer Engineers were put under contract in fall of 2016 for engineering services to make renovations to the existing Ponds and Cascades at Franklin Park. The Ponds and Cascades between the two ponds were constructed for Ameriflora in 1991. The pump system is no longer performing as it was designed and the system needs a complete overhaul with variable speed drives, above ground housing for access and new turbine pumps. The cascade areas between the ponds have numerous voids and deteriorating base and edges.
Phase One is the removal of the underground non-operational pumps in the park and replaces them with an above ground facility of two pumps enclosed in a pump house. This is critical to returning flow to the cascades. The future Phase Two will be determined after the cascades are running to be able to analyze the area of leaks and engineering a more natural stream bed between the ponds.
The costs for this project will be $280,665.00 with a contingency of $42,335.00 for a total of $323,000.00.
