(August 2023) An Advertisement for Bids during June was not successful. Bids were opened on July 6, with all bids being much higher than the approved budget for the project.
City Council approved rejecting all bids and rebidding the project after a review of the project documents. This second bid advertisement is anticipated for later in 2023.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
Nothing at this point in time. Watch this space for future construction announcements!
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
The goal of this project is to refresh the existing amenities at Silver Crest Park and improve recreational conditions for existing park features. This includes a goal to increase Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access to the play area.
This proposed project would include: repairing/restoring the basketball court and fencing, repairing the existing pathways as needed, repairing and/or replacing existing benches and picnic tables, installing concrete pads for the table/bench areas, and repairing and/or replacing the play area concrete ring, and restoring play area surfacing as needed.
The Silver Crest Park was annexed to the City in 2005 as a part of the Northeast Area Annexation. This .61 acre neighborhood park is located within the Silver Crest subdivision on 28th Drive SE. Amenities include a full basketball court, playground, picnic tables, and a grassy play area. There is currently no irrigation in place at this park.
This project is funded through a combination of City funds, a Snohomish County Parks grant, and a State of Washington Capital Appropriation legislative grant.
