Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Pavement Protectors, Inc., dba M&D Blacktop Sealing for asphalt improvements to various parks and community centers.
Each year, Recreation and Parks allocates a portion of the Capital Improvements budget to the improvement of existing and potentially needed new installations of hard surfaces. This particular contract focuses on the removal and replacement of existing asphalt surfaces that are highly used by the public and include entry drives, parking lots, and walkways. By improving these surfaces, safe and easy access can be ensured to the parks and facilities, in particular those facilities which are utilized for voting purposes. Areas for improvement are determined by input from members of the Community, as well as Recreation and Parks staff.
At this time, priorities and improvement locations are being determined by staff.
The costs for this project will not exceed $200,000.00.
