Overview 
The city applied for a state Local Parks and Recreation Fund (LPRF) grant during October, 2020 
and accepted the grant during July, 2021 to renovate Heritage Park, specifically, construct a new 
walking trail, renovate the baseball field, remove and replace the playground, add pedestrian 
lighting, and address ADA non-
compliance issues. Lose Designs prepared the renovation 
design, developed an opinion of probable cost, and the state eventually approved the design.  
 
Bid documents were then prepared and distributed. On the deadline date of July 31, 2025, three 
bids were received with Wilson Construction Group being the low bidder at $1,410,247 and a 
contingency amount of $70,512.35 for a total of $1,480,759.35. The contingency will only be 
used if necessary and any unused portion will remain with the city.
