Parks Department reports bid openings and riverfront shade purchase
Summary
Staff said bid openings are scheduled for Tillis Park parking-lot and Raleigh Farm Park walking-trail improvements and that the department issued a purchase order for three riverfront cantilever shade structures; Stern Park work is progressing ahead of schedule.
Parks staff updated the commission on several capital and maintenance projects. Staff said the bid opening for Tillis Park parking lot and Raleigh Farm Park walking‑trail improvements is scheduled for tomorrow and that there are multiple plan holders for both projects.
On the riverfront, staff reported a purchase order was issued for three cantilever shade canopies to be installed as part of planned park improvements, and that staff will coordinate selection of colors and installation timing. Stern Park/Shunkhouse contractor work is moving faster than anticipated and staff said they now expect substantial completion at the end of the month or start of July, earlier than the August projection.
The department also noted ongoing maintenance efforts—mowing, splash pad repairs and recent equipment training—and said mobile camera units and parking stops are being used to deter vandalism across parks. No board votes were taken on these project updates at the meeting.
