County explains design, permitting and procurement phases for Dolphin Cove park
Summary
St. Johns County staff outlined the project's phase-based schedule: 12–18 months for design and engineering (with community engagement and permitting), 4–6 months for bidding and solicitation, and 12–24 months for construction. Final plans were permitted and contractor solicitation began after budget approval.
At a briefing, Tim Connor, project manager for St. Johns County Parks and Recreation, walked through the specific phases that move a neighborhood park from concept to construction-ready plans. He said the design and engineering phase typically runs "12 to 18 month[s]" depending on complexity and permitting requirements, which include reviews by water-management districts and the county development review committee.
Connor outlined the county's procurement and construction cadence: after final plans are permitted, bidding and solicitation commonly take four to six months to secure a contractor, and construction timelines range from 12 to 24 months depending on the level of detail and project complexity. He said county staff proceeded through 30/60/90% design milestones with community feedback before soliciting contractors, and that the Board of County Commissioners had approved the project budget that made contractor solicitation possible. No contract award details were provided during the update.
