Summary

The court approved 100% construction documents and bid advertisement for EK Atwood Park Phase 2 after staff and architect replaced a planned Trex enclosure with an aluminum Avadeck product due to fire‑code restrictions; staff said the aluminum option stays within budget and will be submitted to the Restore Act grant administrator for final approval.

County staff and the project architect briefed the court on a materials clarification for EK Atwood Park Improvement Phase 2. Fire‑code review disallowed the previously proposed Trex decking for the barbecue enclosure; the design team recommended an aluminum Avadeck product that visually matches existing decking but meets fire‑code requirements.

Architect Jose Rios described the Avadeck product as an aluminum system that mimics wood grain and said the change remains within the project budget. Staff confirmed the plans will be submitted to the Restore Act administrator for approval and, once approved, the county will advertise bid number 260304 for construction.

The court approved the 100% construction documents and authorized advertising the bid. Commissioners asked staff to confirm final Restore Act acceptance before contract solicitations proceed.
