Council approves $72,700 agreement to finish design for East City Park covered stage
Summary
The Moscow City Council approved a $72,700 professional‑services agreement with Design West Architects to take the East City Park covered stage from a 30% conceptual design to final bid documents and construction administration; staff said construction is anticipated to begin after the 2026 event season.
The Moscow City Council on Dec. 15 approved a professional‑services agreement with Design West Architects to complete design and construction administration for a covered stage at East City Park. City staff said the contract would advance the project from a 30% conceptual design through final bid documents for construction.
"This professional services agreement will advance the East City Park stage project from the current 30% through completion," staff said, adding the contract amount for that work is $72,700. Staff described the project as an approximately 1,200‑square‑foot covered stage attached to an existing restaurant building, with associated storage and mechanical rooms, sitework and relocated pathways.
During council questions, members asked how the stage would interact with an existing bike path. Staff responded that the city expects the bike path and stage to coexist, and that specific alignment and interactions would be resolved as the design advances from 30% to later milestones.
One council member recused themself from the discussion before the presentation was given; staff noted the recusal briefly during the meeting. A councilor moved and the council approved the agreement by voice vote.
According to staff, the schedule anticipates 60% design in March 2026, 90% in April 2026 and bid documents later in 2026, with construction expected to begin after the 2026 event season.
