Site work for a playground / park / athletic field in Franklinton, Louisiana. Completed plans call for site work for a playground / park / athletic field.

This project consists of the repairs to erosion damage and stabilization of the bank of the Bogue Chitto River. The riverbank is currently eroding, has damaged a parking lot and is threatening to destroy the adjacent road. Repairs to the parking lot and road are included in the scope. It is anticipated that sheet piling and riprap may be utilized to stabilize the riverbank. Designer will consult with the Army Corp of Engineers and the Department of Natural Resources, as required, to produce a Design that meets their approval for permitting. The majority of the park will remain operational during Design and construction; however, portions of the park inaccessible due to either erosion or the construction will be closed to the public. Design services and fees are based on and limited to Program Completion through Construction Documents Approval phase (60%). At the Owners option, the contract may be amended to include additional phases with the corresponding fee adjustment. The Designer shall prepare and submit all required drawings to Facility Planning & Control in AutoCAD and hard copy. Drawings shall follow the format specified in the Instructions to Designers for AutoCAD Drawings Submittal. The available funds for construction (AFC) are approximately $1,825,000.00 with a fee of approximately $86,760.00. Contract Design time is 75 consecutive calendar days; including 25 days review time. Thereafter, liquidated damages in the amount of $125.00 per day will be assessed.
