Re: Park Construction Update
I met with the contractor, American Liberty
Construction, who will be doing the work in our parks
this summer. They will be starting work in Prairie
Park in early May. Each sub -contractor will come in,
do their work in Prairie Park, and then move to School
Knoll Park to do their work. They expect that most of
the new play equipment will not be installed until
August. They anticipate being done by Labor Day. If
they are not done by the time of the Otsego Festival
(September 13) they will have the site cleaned up for
the festival.
Damon Farber will have an estimate for construction
observation and management to us, but they expect that
it will run in the $10,000-15,000 range. Damon Farber
and I will meet with the contractor every two weeks to
review the contractor's work. If you have any
questions/concerns about the contractor's work, please
call me immediately with them.
