Title
Vote to amend the contract with Stewart Inc. to provide park design services for Parker’s Ridge Park Phase I
Abstract
Introduction & Background:
Chatham County wishes to continue the contract with Stewart Inc. to provide Park Design Services for Parker’s Ridge Phase One of the 138-acre site located at 994 Pea Ridge Road. This proposal reflects an area of approximately 23.5-acres. Also reflected in this proposal is the opportunity to expand the scope of work to include active play courts if the budget allows. Stewart will work collaboratively with Chatham County and the entire consultant team throughout the project to guide an interdisciplinary approach for creating the park. We will lead the design of specific site elements during the Schematic Design (SD) phase through Design Development (DD), into Construction Documents (CD), and into support for the Bidding Process.
Discussion & Analysis:
To create and construct a park, we will need Schematic Designs (SD), Design Development (DD), and Construction Documents (CD)
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:
The project falls under the scope of Goals 5 - Conserving natural resources, 6 - Provide recreational opportunities, and 10 - Fostering a healthy community.
Budgetary Impact:
The cost of the work is $607,500. If we have any cost savings in the project, funds will be used to add additional services, the total cost will be $705,400.
Recommendation/Motion: Motion to amend the contract with Stewart Inc. to provide Park Design Services for Parker’s Ridge Park Phase I.
