Ozark council approves architectural and engineering contracts for Project Evergreen
Summary
The City Council approved agreements with Donofro Inc. for architectural services and Polly Inc. for engineering services tied to Project Evergreen, the planned sports complex; the engineering contract was noted to include environmental work and was adopted with one recorded opposition.
The City Council of Ozark approved two contracts on the Project Evergreen sports-complex work, voting to authorize an architectural-services agreement with Donofro Inc. and an engineering-services agreement with Polly Inc. The engineering scope as presented includes environmental review and planned retention-pond design.
The council introduced the Donofro Inc. agreement for architectural services for Project Evergreen and voted to approve it following discussion about contract edits; City Attorney Adams said deletions that are initialed would be treated as removed from the agreement. The council then introduced an agreement with Polly Inc. for engineering services related to Project Evergreen; a council member noted the engineering work includes environmental services and that the firm has experience that should answer questions about impacts to Claybank Creek. One council member opposed the engineering contract, but the measure passed.
Discussion recorded in the meeting focused on whether deleted contract language should remain visible and initialed, and on the environmental work included in the engineering scope. A member of the public identified as Mr. Bridal spoke during discussion and said he had questions about when he could speak and that the environmental work would address concerns. No contract amounts were stated in the meeting record.
The council did not specify implementation dates or a funding source in the discussion on the record; staff were not recorded as assigning follow-up tasks or timelines during the public portion of the item.
The approvals move Project Evergreen forward to the next implementation steps described by staff and consultants, with environmental review and detailed engineering design now included in the city’s contracts for the project.
