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

City of Marion, Indiana, Department of Parks and Recreation (the "Parks Department") will receive sealed bids for construction of the following project: Project Location: The Project is located at 701 E. 2nd St., Marion, IN 46952, between 1st Street on the north and 2nd Street on the south, and Sweetser Street on the east and Flynn Street on the west. Project Description: The contractor will be responsible for removing all trash, tree waste & debris, existing concrete and/or asphalt within the grassy area between 1st & 2nd Streets, and Flynn & Sweetser Streets (Project Site). All existing electrical hookups and meters will be disconnected and removed, and topsoil on-site will be stripped and stockpiled in preparation for rough grading. Erosion control measures will be installed and maintained by contractor as indicated on the plans and specifications and/or as directed by Project Owner. Rough grading will result in a level project site that drains from the northeast corner of the block towards the southwest corner, without disturbing the existing ground within the drip lines of existing mature trees on site. Silt fence will be used to protect the existing shade trees (see plans). Excavation for the pedestrian paths within the project site and the parking areas along the road may result in a net gain of available borrow. If excess borrow is generated by rough grading it shall be stockpiled where indicated on the plans for use during phase 2 work. Concrete footers and/or pads will be poured for all features, structures, and fencing placed on-site, and water lines for the drinking fountains and dog wash station will be set in the location of those features needing a water supply. All "Dog-on-it" features, benches, and picnic shelters will be surface mounted to concrete pads and footers, and fencing, gates, and entryways will be installed with concrete footers as indicated on the plans. All lawn 1areas will be seeded and mulched with straw upon completion of final grading. Any excess borrow generated by grading shall be stockpiled as indicated on the plans.
