Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with G6 Infrastructure, LLC for the Mudsock Trail Safety Improvements Project. The contract amount is for a total of $74,725.00 being authorized by this ordinance.
The Mudsock Trail is a limestone screenings path in the City’s Far West Community. The two and a half mile trail begins at Franks Park and currently ends at Spindler Park. The primary purpose of the project is to address drainage issues along the trail at nine locations where periodic flooding from the Clover Groff Stream creates unsafe conditions for walkers, runners, and cyclists. The project will install several small culverts and raise the grade of the path with new limestone screenings to reduce further flooding impacts.
The Mudsock Trail is well used, with over 2,800 residents living close to the path. The path also connects users to the active recreation of Franks Park, Spindler Dog Park, and Spindler Park Soccer Complex. These are all popular and heavily used greenspaces. The timing of the project is to begin as soon as possible during the fall months to take advantage of drier weather conditions.
