The City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) contains the Jennifer Lane Park project. The project includes constructing a new park on city owned land at the southwest corner of the intersection of Jennifer Lane and Meadow Court.
Plans have been prepared and are ready to solicit public bids to construct the improvements. Upon approval, the advertising and bidding will commence with a scheduled bid opening of June 23, 2021. Bids would then be considered at the July 6, 2021 City Council meeting. Construction of the improvements will be performed between July and September of 2021. | | |

The CIP identified a total project cost of $274,950. The following costs and funding table compares the CIP estimate with the current project estimate.

The updated engineer's estimate is $315,693.18, which is $40,743.18 (14.8 percent) over the CIP budget. Additional playground items were needed to make the park ADA accessible that were not captured in the original CIP estimate in 2018. This change and the associated year to year construction cost increases have resulted in the project being noticeably over the CIP budget. However, the costs are reflective of the current project scope. The project is to be funded fully out of the Park Development Fund. | | |
