Council authorizes bids for LC Stevens Park Phase 3 shelter; estimated cost just under $280,000
Summary
Council authorized staff to advertise bids for LC Stevens Park Phase 3 (stage shelter and site work), with a construction subtotal of about $255,000 plus a 10% contingency (project estimate just under $280,000); council asked staff to evaluate a stamped concrete alternate and erosion‑control apron options.
Consultants and staff presented design details for LC Stevens Park Phase 3, which would install a shelter over the existing stage, extend a flat dance floor/paved area, adjust the accessible route to remain under 5% grade, add an additional row of stone retaining/seat walls, and address erosion behind the stage. The construction subtotal presented was about $255,000 and, with a 10% contingency, the project's estimate came in just under $280,000; the shelter material itself will be direct‑purchased by the city.
Council asked the design team to include an alternate for stamped concrete (stain to match existing stone) and to evaluate a back‑apron of smaller rock to dissipate drainage velocity. Staff said the 95% plans would return for administrative review with an intended bid posting window in mid‑August and a bid opening later in the month designed to permit a September award and to meet construction timelines for partial completion this year. Council moved to let bids and approved staff to proceed; the motion passed 5–0.
Council also asked staff to bring the splash‑pad plan back for separate review in September, noting that permitting questions had delayed that element of the Phase 3 work.
