Title
Tumblin Creek Park Fencing (B)
Explanation
The CRA wishes to send out a Request for Quotation to replace the defective chain link fence on the southeast perimeter of the Tumblin Creek Park (adjoining SW 6th Street) with an aluminum ornamental fence. The project intends to provide protection for visitors to the park with a more aesthetically pleasing fence than the one that currently exists. The total length of the park boundary to the north, east, and south, adjacent to the road is approximately 1750 linear feet. However, the boundary is only partly fenced on the east along SW 6th Street, with a total estimated length of 600 linear feet. The CRA is proposing to remove and replace the existing chain link fence with the aluminum ornamental fence.
Currently, the Public Works Department, with the help of outside consultants, is in the process of developing a plan for improving SW Depot Avenue from the intersection of SW 11th Street to SW 6th Street (the initial feasibility study was carried out by Kimley-Horne & Associates). The installation of this new fencing will not restrict the future improvement of Depot Avenue in any way.
New fencing along the Depot Avenue boundary will be delayed until the Depot Avenue improvement design is complete.
Fiscal Note
CPUH has budgeted $50,000 for this project in account #618-790-W711-5520, Streetscape/Parks Matching (Tumblin Creek Park Upgrades) for FY2007.
