The Ross Norton Recreation Complex is a 19.59-acre parcel that contains the Ross Norton Recreation and Aquatics Center, as well as a recreation trail adjacent to Lake Belleview. The complex has seen heavy use by the Lake Belleview Community, of which the surrounding neighborhood and residents have expressed interest to city staff for the construction of a new dock overlooking Lake Belleview, following the demolition of a previously existing dock in 2014.
This proposal is for all of the work needed for the project, which includes the construction of structural and marine elements, decking, paneling, and handrails. The proposed dock will be located in the same location as it existed previously and will provide for compliance with accessibility standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This is a 120 contract which will commence upon issuance of a Notice to Proceed.
A Community Development Block Grant of $190,000.00 has been requested for this project utilizing CDBG-CV funds. Once approval is complete a future budget amendment will be required to recognize grant funds in the project. This is a reimbursement grant; funding will be transferred upon project completion.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available in capital improvement project M2206, Parks & Beautification R&R. A future amendment will increase the project budget by $190,000.00 to recognize the transfer of CDBG-CV funds allocated for this project.
