Hannibal approves nearly $952,000 Central Park renovation contract; park tax to fund work
Summary
City council adopted Resolution 2549-25 authorizing a contract for Central Park renovations, awarding the project to Bly Construction for $952,000 plus unit rates for stucco and masonry work; city said park tax — not the general fund — will pay the cost and work will start after July 4.
The City Council on May 6 adopted Resolution 2549-25 to authorize a contract with Bly Construction for renovation work in Central Park, approving a contract amount listed in the resolution as $952,000 and additional unit pricing for stucco replacement and masonry repointing.
Interim City Manager Andy Dorian briefed the council on the project, saying the bandstand’s foundation had failed and the structure has been closed for several months. Dorian described a multi-part bid package: approximately $465,000 for bandstand work, $377,000 for sidewalks, curbs and concrete, and $110,000 for new electrical pedestals and service. He said the city and park board have been saving park-tax revenues for the project and that the funding will come entirely from the park tax rather than the general fund.
Dorian said the city received a single qualified bid; resolution language presented and adopted at the meeting names Bly Construction as the contractor and authorizes unit prices for any additional stucco and masonry work. The council voted in roll call to adopt Resolution 2549-25; each council member present recorded a “yes” on the resolution roll call.
Work is scheduled to begin the week after July 4 and to be completed in the fall in time for next year’s events, city staff said. The electric pedestals identified for replacement are more than 30 years old and have been failing during events, Dorian said.
Ending: With the contract authorized and funding identified from the park tax, staff will coordinate construction timing with event schedules and the parks board.
