Summary
The Board of Works approved a low bid from Dave O'Meara Company to install new pickleball courts at Todd Creech Park for $179,800, funded from the city parks line item; construction could begin this year but may not be completed until 2026.
The City of Lawrenceburg Board of Works voted to award the Todd Creech Park pickleball project to the low responsible bidder, Dave O'Meara Company, at a total price of $179,800. The board approved the award during its Aug. 4 meeting and will fund the work from the city parks budget line.
City staff presented two quotes and recommended the low responsible quote from Dave O'Meara Company, saying the contractor expects to start concrete and asphalt work this year but does not guarantee full completion in 2025. “They do believe they can get started with it with the, the concrete and the asphalt. They don't know if they can get fully complete this year,” the project presenter said during the meeting.
Project elements described in the presentation include concrete and asphalt work, painting in the same color scheme used at the other courts, and fencing. Board members said they hoped the courts would be as attractive and well used as the courts on the hill.
The board moved to approve the low bid and the motion carried. No alternate funding source was requested at the meeting; staff said the project will be charged to the parks line item. The board did not set a firm completion date; contractors’ timeline was described as “planning to start” this year with possible carryover into 2026.
Construction and scheduling details, and whether the project will require additional park closures or permits, were not specified at the meeting. The board did not discuss any contingencies or performance bonds during the presentation.
For residents: staff indicated the finished courts will match the city's existing color scheme and include a locked fence similar to other city facilities.
