Lawrenceburg Board of Works approves $115,459 contract for Ludlow Hill Park trailhead parking lot
Summary
The Lawrenceburg Board of Works voted to award a $115,459 contract to Cincinnati Asphalt to build a new parking lot for the Ludlow Hill Park trailhead, funded from the parks capital fund and partially supported by a $200,000 Indiana Trails grant.
The Lawrenceburg Board of Works on Oct. 6 approved a $115,459 contract with Cincinnati Asphalt to construct a new parking lot that will serve the Ludlow Hill Park trailhead off Bel Air Drive.
Public works staff told the board the scope covers the parking area only; trail design and construction for the Ludlow Hill Park trails remain under development. “We received two quotes back, and after reviewing, we'd like to recommend the low quote from Cincinnati Asphalt at a total price of $115,459,” a public works staff member said.
Board members and staff said the project will be funded from the city’s parks capital line and noted the project is partially supported by the Indiana Trails program grant. “We got a $200,000 grant from Indiana Trails that we've gotta use. But just so you guys know, this is for the parking lot only,” Mayor Kelly Melant said.
Board members asked about site details during discussion. Board member Tom Roulette asked how many parking spaces the lot would provide; staff said the design shows six regular spaces and one handicap space. Brett Bondurant asked whether lighting would be installed; staff said lighting could be added later as part of the trail project and suggested lights would be timed to turn off when the park is closed.
A motion to award the contract to Cincinnati Asphalt passed by voice vote. The board directed staff to carry forward separate design work for the trail itself and to include landscaping around the parking area.
The contract covers construction of the parking area only; staff said further design and funding decisions for the walking trail will be brought to the board in a later item.
