Resolution to Approve a Contract with D & J Contracting for Improvements to Esch Park ($39,219.25)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is a resolution to approve a $39,219.25 contract with D & J Contracting to make improvements to Esch Park.
Esch Park is a 4.5 acre neighborhood park located in south Ann Arbor. The park contains a play area, ball fields, asphalt walks and game courts. The asphalt walk and game court have deteriorated, with severe cracks and broken surfacing making the playing and walking surface uneven. Additionally, the playground does not have pathways leading to it, making the area out of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Bringing neighborhood parks into compliance with the ADA act is a stated goal in the PROS plan.
This project includes replacement of the game court surfacing and walkways, and the addition of walkways to the play area. Other small improvements include installing picnic tables, benches and shade trees.
