The price to build Finley Park is set: up to $6,656,100, under a contract the Anna City Council will consider at a special meeting Tuesday, Nov. 17.
A resolution posted with the agenda Tuesday would let the city manager sign a construction-manager-at-risk agreement with Dean Construction, with a guaranteed maximum price at that figure. The resolution says Dean solicited bids from subcontractors under state procurement law to arrive at the number, and that the city judged the selected bids the best value.
The money would come from the parks, trails, recreation and sports proposition in the city's 2021 general obligation bonds.
Finley Park sits at the southeast corner of Finley Boulevard and Leonard Avenue. A filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lists parking, a restroom, playgrounds, a pavilion, seating, trails, a dog park, a trellis overlook, pond cleanup, and landscaping with irrigation.
That filing, made in February, estimated the job at $6.8 million and projected completion by the end of July 2027; those were estimates, not contract terms.
The resolution ties the park to a goal in the parks master plan update the council adopted May 12: improving existing parks and adding amenities residents want.
Tuesday night's regular council meeting was canceled, which moved the city's business to the Nov. 17 session. Other items on that agenda:
