Park Arthur Bid Awarded for Phase I Construction

The Common Council approved a resolution to award BCF Construction Corp the bid for the Phase I Construction of Park Arthur.  The park is situated along College Avenue, just east of Lentini Drive.

The bid of $577,182.50 was the lowest of seven that were submitted, and provided the city with the most alternatives.  The cost will cover construction including grading work and infrastructure, paving of a road and a portion of the middle parking lot, and screened topsoil for all four of the baseball fields.

The park features open agricultural land, and areas of woodlands and wetlands within a second environmental corridor. A boardwalk/trail system will be constructed through the wetlands and woodland area.

In winter, a hockey/ice skating rink, shelter with indoor bathrooms and sledding hill will provide recreation opportunities.  Along with the baseball fields, soccer fields will be constructed as well as a small tot-lot playground.
