Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Strawser Paving Company for the expansion of the parking area at Godown Dog Park. This project will expand the parking by 31 spaces as well as fulfilling the Department of Public Utilities Stormwater requirements.
This highly utilized dog park is currently underserved with available parking. This project aims to expand parking amenities to better serve residents as well as cut down on maintenance costs due to non-parking areas being utilized for parking. Stormwater requirements will take in account not only the new improvements, but the original parking improvements as well to better accommodate storm runoff prior to entering our waterways and sewers.
The costs for this project will be $208,585.00 with a contingency of $21,415.00 for a total of $230,000.00.
