Title
Centennial Park Boardwalk Demolition, Construction - Contract Award
History
The purpose of this project is to demolish, remove, and dispose of the pedestrian boardwalk at Centennial Park and provide restoration to the boardwalk area. The substructure along the walkway is in disrepair due to heaving of the foundations, which creates a safety concern because the deck system is unstable. On April 14, 2026, ITB #26-032 - Centennial Boardwalk Demolition was issued to solicit bids from qualified construction firms to demolish and remove approximately 700 feet of pedestrian boardwalk, foundations, and an entire gazebo, as well as landscaping and restoration.

1. Baxter & Woodman Natural Resources LLC - $150,650.00
2. V3 - $183,027.00
Staff recommends entering into an agreement with Baxter & Woodman Natural Resources LLC at the proposed cost of $150,650.00 and allowing a contingency of 10%, $15,000.00, for unforeseen circumstances.
