Waynesville OKs civil design contract for dog park, greenways, bridges and rain-garden study
Summary
Council approved a proposed contract with a civil design firm to design, bid and administer projects for a new dog park, greenway repairs, a walking bridge and a feasibility analysis for a rain garden on the Richmond Creek trail system.
Council approved a contract with a civil design consultant to develop designs, bid documents and construction administration for a redeveloped dog park, greenways repairs, a walking bridge between the skate park and dog park, and an evaluation of the rain garden at the Richmond Creek walking-trail terminus.
Staff said the contract work includes topographic and surveying work, storm-drainage analysis, grading plans, a bridge design and construction administration. The contract is intended to support FEMA project-by-project requirements after flood damage. The consultant described options for a dog park site, synthetic-surface and phased parking and amenities; staff noted that construction costs for a high-end synthetic turf dog area could reach into the low seven figures, depending on scope, but that a phased approach and FEMA participation could affect funding availability.
The council voted to approve the proposed contract after a motion by Councilmember (mover on the record) and a second by Councilmember John; the motion carried on a voice vote.
Staff said the work will produce design documents and cost estimates that the town can use to pursue construction funding, FEMA participation where eligible and phased construction.
Provenance: Discussion and approval occurred in New Business; consultant and staff answered council questions before the vote.
