Agenda Item 
IV. C.  Heritage Park Parking Lot Paving 
 
Overview 
The City Council approved RFB 25 -09 during the August 19, 2025 regular meeting  to renovate 
Heritage Park. The lowest bidder was Wilson Construction, and the total cost of the approved 
project was $1,728,336.99. This project is funded by a state LPDF grant ($587,500) and the city’s 
Capital Improvement Fund ($1,140,836.99). A very small portion of this project ($75,000) was to 
have a third pa rty, not Wilson, resurface the parking area  after the park renovation project was 
completed. However, it has been determined that the parking area is much more deteriorated as 
originally thought and needs a full -depth replacement rather tha n a simple resurfacing. The 
estimated cost of that extra work beyond the original $75,000, that was previously approved,  is 
$84,448.40 for a total estimated cost of $159,448.40. This extra cost requires City Council approval 
and will come from Capital Improvement Fund reserves.  
 
To avoid a long and separate bid process to resurface this small parking area at Heritage Park, city 
staff recommends the City Council use the same unit pricing from the bid (RFB 25 -10) that was 
awarded to the Rogers Group during the August 19, 2025 regular session to resurface nine city 
streets. The City Attorney concurs with this methodology. By using the same unit pricing from a 
recently completed and related competitive bid makes financial sense to take advantage of the 
savings without the need to conduct a separate bid process.  
 
A memo from the Public Works Department is attached that offers additional details.
