Council approves planning-level work for Town Park, construction documents to follow separate agreement
Summary
The council approved a $13,500 planning-level scope to survey and produce concept layouts for Town Park; the proposal excludes construction documents and public engagement unless added.
The Bryce Canyon City Council voted to proceed with a planning-level scope of work for Town Park at its May 1 meeting, with staff and the consultant to produce survey data, a base map and up to three concept layouts.
Why it matters: The planning work will provide a base for later design and construction decisions for the park, including accessible routes, a playground surface replacement, a pavilion plan and potential multiuse courts.
What the council approved and what it does: The consultant scope described in the transcript (identified as Jones and V[e]il/Campbell) will use UAV drone and ground survey to map existing features, identify property boundaries from GIS, and prepare up to three concept layout options showing playground replacement, pavilion areas, dual-use basketball/soft courts and other amenities. The transcript records a planning-level fee of $13,500 and notes that the scope does not include final construction documents, contingency or inflation factors; construction documents would require a separate agreement.
Council discussion and direction: Councilmembers emphasized ADA access and noted the consultant would meet with staff (the proposal included up to two in-person or virtual meetings led by city staff). Council members instructed staff to proceed with the planning scope; staff said procurement and construction (if pursued) would be led by the city and that cost estimates provided are planning-level only.
Next steps: Staff to execute the planning contract or procurement and return to council with any construction documents or procurement items if the project proceeds past planning. The council did not approve construction-phase funding at this meeting.
Provenance: Discussion of the consultant scope and the motion to proceed appear in the transcript between roughly 00:06:00 and 00:07:30; the fee of $13,500 is stated in the same segment.
