Copperton finishes ADA ramps at park; arch project moves forward but needs contractor and fabricator
Summary
Director of Engineering Lizel Allen told the town that two ADA-compliant pedestrian ramps at Copperton Park were completed last month and the old ramp removed. The planned decorative arch requires Methods Consulting under contract, a masonry builder has been identified but a steel fabricator is still needed.
Lizel Allen, Director of Engineering, reported that Copperton Park now has two ADA-compliant pedestrian ramps and that the old, noncompliant ramp has been removed; staff said the ramp work was completed late last month.
The presentation also covered a proposed new park arch. Allen said staff are working to get Methods Consulting under contract and noted that the town can use the MSD procurement code to directly select a builder for portions of the work. One builder who can perform the masonry portion has been identified, but staff said they still need to locate a steel fabricator to complete the arch.
During the update staff asked for guidance on siting, asking, "Where do you want it?" The exchange indicated the archproject is still in a design-and-procurement phase rather than construction. No construction schedule or additional funding sources were provided in the transcript.
Next steps noted by staff include securing the Methods Consulting contract and identifying a steel fabricator before a construction contract can be finalized. The report closed into general discussion with no formal motions or votes recorded.
