Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is a resolution to approve a $65,000.00 contract with Saladino Construction Company, Inc. to restore the Island Park Bridge and the concrete portions of the Greek Revival Shelter in the Island Park.

The Island Park Bridge was constructed in 1916 and the Greek Revival Shelter in 1914. The concrete structures have cracked and spalled over time due to weather and water damage. Both structures have been renovated several times throughout their history, most recently in the mid 1990’s This project would repair and seal cracks, repair spalling concrete and repaint the bridge as well as add structural concrete support to the shelter, which has sunk slightly in one corner, causing cracking of the concrete walls.
