Board awards $13.78 million construction contract for Tuckahoe Park bond project
Summary
The board approved a fixed-price $13,783,000 contract to Kenbridge Construction Company, Inc. for the Tuckahoe Park bond project, added $3.66 million in appropriations, and staff said construction will begin in September 2026 with an estimated 515-calendar-day schedule.
Henrico supervisors approved a resolution awarding a fixed-price contract for $13,783,000 to Kenbridge Construction Company, Inc. for the Tuckahoe Park bond project. The scope includes two accessible restrooms, utility infrastructure, a new asphalt parking lot, renovated parking lots, a dumpster enclosure, multiuse trails, sidewalks, a pedestrian bridge and a newly accessible community playground; construction is anticipated to begin in September 2026 and complete within 515 calendar days.
Staff said the county received three bids on Aug. 12 and Kenbridge was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The board also approved an additional appropriation of $3,658,807 for the project. During supervisor questions, staff said the original design would have disturbed about 17 acres but had been reduced to roughly six acres; the playground area will clear about 1.7 acres, representing a roughly 70% reduction from the original plan. Staff added plans to replant trees and vegetation in disturbed areas.
A motion to approve the resolution was moved and seconded and adopted by voice vote.
