Isanti County OKs shelter, concrete work for Irving and John Anderson County Park under park legacy grant
Summary
The county approved low bids for a picnic shelter and concrete work at Irving and John Anderson County Park; projects are part of a phase‑3 park legacy grant with local match from park reserve funds.
The Isanti County Board of Commissioners approved contracts April 1 to build a picnic shelter and pour concrete at Irving and John Anderson County Park, awarding the shelter construction to Northland Recreation for $9,250 and the concrete work to Mid State Masonry for $9,054.
Parks staff said the shelter will be located inside the park’s off‑leash dog area and will include room for two picnic tables to provide shelter from inclement weather. The concrete work covers four footings for the shelter, a slab, and a six‑foot ADA apron around an existing restroom, plus an approach. Both contracts are part of Phase 3 of the park’s development under a park legacy grant; parks staff said local matching funds will come from the county’s park reserve fund and referenced a local match total of about $140,000.
Commissioners approved the low bids unanimously. County staff said the shelter work and concrete are scheduled to proceed under the timeline tied to the grant; dates discussed during the meeting referenced a June 30 completion milestone (year not specified in the meeting record). Parks staff noted modest ongoing maintenance costs for the concrete, including potential snow removal or crack repair.
The board’s approval directs county parks staff to proceed with contract execution and to meet any grant reporting and matching requirements.
