Background
Old Shepard Place Park Renovation, Project No. PKR-P-7172, will provide professional services to update the master plan and revise the existing construction documents that were partially completed in October 2022. At that time, the project was placed on hold due to funding priorities and athletic program scheduling conflicts. The athletic program has since been updated and the project is back on track. The original construction documents require revisions to comply with current codes, standards, and product lists. Professional services include geotechnical investigation, master plan updates, preparation of construction documents, revised site plan, bidding assistance, and construction administration.
Old Shepard Place Park was originally constructed in 1980. The playground was renovated in 1999 and is now at the end of its anticipated life cycle. Renovation improvements include a new playground with subsurface drainage, a new restroom building, renovated ball fields, spectator areas and dugouts, widened sidewalks, accessible pedestrian crossings at Winding Hollow Lane, additional trails, a new irrigation system, water and sanitary sewer improvements, tree planting, equipment storage, and parking lot improvements.
