Phase 1 estimated budget: ± $ 253,800 
(includes 20% contingency for construction items) 
Phase 2 – Parking Lot Improvements 
This phase consists of parking lot improvements as shown and access connections to both Jackson 
and White, not including parking or intersection improvements outside the parcel boundaries . As 
outlined previously, site demolition assumes full-depth removal (12”) of existing material. During 
engineering design and bidding, there may be an opportunity for savings should full depth removal of 
the parking area not be required.  
This phase includes parking lot demolition ($180,000 for this phase), erosion control ($20,000 for this 
phase), sidewalks adjacent to or within the parking area, asphalt pavement, curbing, lighting 
improvements, dumpster enclosure and mobilization costs ($120,000 for this phase). 
Phase 2 estimated budget: ± $1,263,000 
(includes 20% contingency for construction costs) 
 
Phase 3 – Park and Landscape Improvements 
This phase consists of all improvements associated with the park area, excluding the parking lot as 
generally shown on the Master Plan.  
This phase includes erosion control ($10,000 for this phase), Sidewalks and extended areas next to 
the pavilion and water wheel, fencing extensions, Trees, Shrubs, Sod, irrigation, and mobilization 
costs ($60,000 for this phase). 
Phase 3 estimated budget: ± $ 470,400 
(includes 20% contingency for construction costs) 
NOTE: While not within the scope of this Master Plan, sidewalks along Green Street from East 
Madison to the park are insufficient and should be upgraded in parallel with the Market Park 
improvements, to provide appropriate access to and from Market Park along Green Street.  
Next Steps 
OPC’s at the preliminary design stage are broad and based on unit pricing from similar projects. The 
city may wish to prepare preliminary engineering design drawings suitable for bidding (30% design for 
example) with clearly identified phases and receive bids for one or more phases with alternative 
methods and pricing being encouraged, particularly as it pertains to the parking area. This will allow 
the city to specifically tailor improvements to the available funding and bring Market Park to its  full 
potential over the course of several construction phases.
