Memorial Park Bridge and Trail Improvements

On February 19, 2019, City Council authorized a professional services agreement with WSB and Associates to proceed with the final design of the Memorial Park Bridge and Trail Improvements Project PA-19-09 (see attached Capital Improvement Plan summary sheet). Staff have been working with WSB and Associates over the past 20 months and have finally secured the necessary archaeological clearances and approvals and the many other multi-jurisdiction approvals in order to advance the project.  

Plans have been prepared by WSB and Associates and the City Engineer (see attached), and are ready to solicit public bids to construct the improvements. Upon approval, the advertising and bidding will commence with a scheduled bid opening on November 18, 2020. Bids would then be considered, currently anticipated for the December 1, 2020, City Council meeting. Construction of the improvements would be performed between December 2020 and November of 2021.

The project cost is estimated in the amount of $800,000 and funding through the Parks Asset Internal Services Fund ($250,000), State grant ($300,000), SMSC grant ($100,000) and Scott County funding ($50,000). See attached CIP summary for additional information.
