Summary
The board awarded a construction contract to Miles McClellan Construction for the Willow Valley Park creek refresh and approved associated budget/project ordinance amendments; the board also approved a friendly amendment to rename the park Eastern Heights Park.
The Mooresville Board of Commissioners approved a contract award on Nov. 17 for the Willow Valley Park creek refresh project and simultaneously approved a friendly amendment to rename the park Eastern Heights Park.
Facilities Director Karen Kesey told the board that Miles McClellan Construction was the low bidder and presented project and budget figures. The award amount discussed in the agenda and during the motion was $2,326,220, and Kesey identified a total project budget figure on the staff slide. The board voted to award the contract and to adopt project ordinance amendments to fund completion; Commissioner DeWeese made the motion and the board accepted a friendly amendment to rename the park to Eastern Heights Park in recognition of the neighboring community.
Commissioner DeWeese said the park will be a unique community asset. The motion included approval of the award and budget adjustments and a request that the project be completed on schedule (183 days was noted as the construction period). Staff will return with contract documents and monitor construction progress.
