RE: LION'S PARK IMPROVEMENT
Dear Council Members:
Within the Park and Recreation Department's approved 2004 budget are three small projects.
They include an expansion to the Lion's Park parking lot, overlaying the bituminous trails within
Lion's Park, and construction of a basketball court in the Highlands West neighborhood park.
These three projects have been combined together into one set of plans and specifications for
bidding purposes. Staff has discussed the schedule for these projects and determined that the
portion of the project at the Lion's Park facility should be accomplished before the summer
recreation program is in full swing in June. Therefore, we are requesting City Council adoption of
the attached resolution, which approves the plans and specifications and orders the advertisement
for bids for the three projects. We anticipate a bid date of April 14, 2004. Bids would then be
analyzed and ready for presentation to City Council at your April 19, 2004, meeting.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please call.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company
Terry J.
Maurer, P.E.
