City Council approves Givens Park Sports Court remodel contract with Beasley Enterprises LLC

The Port Orchard City Council convened on April 22, 2025, to address several key business items, beginning with the adoption of a resolution for the Gibbons Sports Court remodel project. The meeting commenced without any public hearings, allowing the council to focus on the agenda items at hand.

The first item discussed was the resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a contract with Beasley Enterprises LLC for the remodel of the sports court at Givens Park. City representative Mr. Ryan presented the project, which aims to enhance public recreational facilities by resurfacing the courts, upgrading site access, and improving lighting and park fixtures.

Mr. Ryan detailed the procurement process, noting that the city adhered to state laws and initiated a formal bidding process. Three bids were received, with Beasley Enterprises LLC identified as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The total cost for the project is $462,994.80, which includes selected alternates for electrical work, concrete curbs, and fence post replacements. Mr. Ryan highlighted that this bid was significantly lower than a previous estimate that had nearly doubled the cost.

Following the presentation, Council Member Ternaria moved to adopt the resolution, which was seconded by Council Member Deener. The council proceeded to discuss the motion, emphasizing the importance of the project for community recreation.

In conclusion, the council's decision to move forward with the Gibbons Sports Court remodel project marks a significant step in enhancing local recreational facilities, reflecting the city's commitment to improving public spaces for its residents. Further discussions and follow-up actions are expected in future meetings as the project progresses.
