Council gives consensus to proceed with DW Companies site work for Fairway Greens North Park; staff to refine pedestrian ramp and rockwork costs

City staff presented a recommended awarding of site work and turf restoration to DW Companies for the Fairway Greens North Park build after receiving a single quote; staff noted the project had been advertised with no responses and then solicited the contractor list, receiving one bid.

Staff said public works will construct remaining park items as time permits and set an anticipated park opening of June 2026. The recommended elements to award to DW Companies included groundwork/site work estimated at $30,000 and turf restoration estimated at $5,200 for a combined estimated spend of $35,200 to be funded from park dedication funds (staff reported an estimated park dedication balance of $360,000).

Council discussed an included line for removal of existing curb and installing a concrete pedestrian ramp and whether that work must be contracted or could be completed by Public Works. Public Works staff member Matt and city staff noted ADA ramp work requires meeting cross‑slope, landing size, and truncated dome requirements and that the city has inspectors with relevant training; council asked staff to explore doing the concrete ramp in‑house to reduce costs, while contracting out specialized tasks such as placement of large boulders on slopes. An estimated boulder placement cost was presented as approximately $5,117 (estimate pending additional quotes).

Council expressed support for proceeding with the DW Companies quote for site work and turf restoration and asked staff to bring back refined line items for the concrete pedestrian ramp and rock placement. The committee recessed to continue the detailed park discussion after council.

No binding contract award was finalized in the committee session; staff will prepare the formal agreement and final cost breakout for council action.
