A $1.58 million renovation of B.F. Phillips Community Park on Timber Ridge Drive is set for a City Council vote Tuesday, Nov. 3, with crews expected to start in December.
The construction contract is on the consent agenda, the part of the meeting the council can approve in a single vote unless members pull an item for discussion. City staff recommend awarding it to Millis Development and Construction of Dallas.
What the work covers
According to a memo from Daniel Ford, the city's director of administrative services, the project renovates trail and plaza paving, refreshes the park's restroom and concession building, puts artificial grass between the playing fields, adds ADA ramps and builds a new lacrosse wall and practice area.
The bid sheet breaks that down further. It lists new concrete steps and walk paving around the baseball complex, about 21,900 square feet of artificial turf in the baseball complex area, a new central oval trail, a concrete apron behind the bleacher seating and five ADA ramps in the parking lot.
The lacrosse area gets a 30-foot play wall, about 275 feet of 6-foot chain-link fencing with gates, artificial grass and three bike racks. Freese and Nichols, an engineering firm with an office on Frisco Square Boulevard, prepared the plans.
The memo says the job should take about 180 days once it begins. The contract gives the builder 180 calendar days to finish.
