Margate approves design‑build contract for Centennial Park after resident input
Summary
The commission approved a design‑build award for Centennial Park redevelopment that reflects neighborhood survey results; the manager said remaining bond funds and the recreation trust will help finish the project.
The commission approved an RFQ award to MDR Construction Inc. for the Centennial Park redevelopment under a design‑build contract. Commissioners emphasized the project had been shaped by resident feedback and is intended as a neighborhood park rather than a regional facility.
"We listened to the residents," Mayor Serio said, noting the city adjusted the planned scope after community engagement. City staff and Commissioner Rosano highlighted that a small remaining balance from the parks bond will apply to the work and that the administration may approve limited scope amendments without additional commission action. The resolution passed on roll call; staff said the design‑build approach and coordination with Coconut Creek utility work will save pavement and repaving costs.
