Resolution approving the plans, specifications, form of contract, and estimate of cost for the River Heritage Park | Phase III project, CIP #68013. [Ward 3]

The City of Davenport is set commence Phase III of construction at River Heritage Park along the Davenport Riverfront.

Once completed, project upgrades as part of this construction phase will include the following:

1. Construction of a 2-acre Great Lawn feature along with associated landscaping improvements.
2. Construction of a 525 LF riverwalk extension, including LED lighting, site furnishings, and connecting paths which will provide access to the future American Cruise Lines gate.
3. On-site electrical upgrades including a utility pedestal to accommodate existing and future park electrical needs.
4. Grading to prep the site for future entry/drop off and mound feature construction phases.

The above outlined improvements are being scheduled for a spring 2021 bid for summer 2021 construction. Substantial completion is estimated to occur in time for an anticipated fall opening.

The total project cost for this project scope with contingency is currently estimated at $615,819.

Additional site improvements concurrently underway under a separate contract include structural seawall repair and railing re-installation. A future contract to install a water main on site will conclude the construction activities in the upcoming months which will complete the whole CIP scope.
