Description/History
McClendon Park West is a 4.8-acre neighborhood park constructed in 1985. In 1999, the park was renovated to include a new playground, restrooms, pavilion, parking lot and picnic stations. In 2007, a basketball court, drainage flume and additional parking was added. In 2016, the playground was replaced and ADA and ballfield improvements were completed. In July 2020, the City Council allocated $700,000 to replace the playground at McClendon Park East and add a splash pad at McClendon Park West. After reviewing several site plan options, the City Council directed staff to proceed with a plan to move the basketball court to the south side of the park. This will enable a splash pad to be constructed in the current location of the basketball court and construct a new restroom building and expanded parking in the front of the park. Additional funding for this project is to be provided from the FY22 MPFDC operating budget.
Fain Cuppett Landscape Architects, LLC was retained in June 2021 to create construction documents for expanded parking and construction of two basketball courts on the southern end of the park. Following site survey work and base data collection, construction and bidding documents were completed in late November and was advertised for bid in December. The bid opening was held on January 6, 2022, with 10 firms submitting bids. 308 Construction, LLC is the recommended low bidder. The contract includes the base bid in the amount of $471,426.84 and alternates #1 (second basketball court) and #2 (court and walkway lights), totaling $96,789.46. The bid tab is attached.
