The city officials approved a contract on Tuesday to almost double the number of parking spaces on a strongly used property in wave numbers.
Part of the improvement of the “western property” in the park is to “shift the accessible rooms in order to organize the accessible route and convert the sidewalk to lead to additional parking through the softball and soccer fields,” said Tiger Mann, director of public work.
“We will also replace the existing decorative lighting and add new lighting,” Mann told the Board of Selectmen at her regular meeting, in the town hall and about video conference.
He continued: “We will add about 17 places. It will be a much more efficient layout than today.”
The first Selectman Dionna Carlson and the Selectmen Steve Karl and Amy Murphy Carroll voted 3: 0. The contract with jobs such as grinding, repayment and the repayment of Waveny's “western solder” voted for the contract with the Kanaan -based contract of $ 479,664.19.
Approval takes place according to the selectms beforehand Delayed the project At her meeting on July 22nd. Since then, the Selectmen have visited the lot to better understand the upgrades required.
Mann said that his department had received two offers after addressing 10 contractors, and Peter Lanni Inc. was the lowest bidder. The money is available in the DPW budget as part of the program to improve parking space management.
“This property was not compliant on the list of the Ministry of Justice, in particular the accessible route in the accessible parking lot,” said Mann. “We have to realign the lot and enlarge it slightly.”
According to Mann, the considerable costs of the project are that the lot has not been touched for decades.
“I have nothing in my records about when it was reproduced,” he said. “Overall, the room is not maximized. There are garbage containers in the middle of the property. It is simply not efficient from a parking space.”
Before Selectman Murphy Carroll discusses potential maintenance costs and strategies, he asked Mann about the time of the project and accessibility to the wave house when the construction occurs.
“It will take three to four weeks,” said Mann. “We should be able to park most of the time to park most of the time and we will go through the site to make the facility accessible. The goal is to start within the next two weeks.”
He continued: “The contractor is aware of where he works, for whom he works and the fact that it is an event location. He understands that access to the building should be awarded at any time, even if he works. The only time we have to close it, if we take it out or put it in again.”
