The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB), in coordination with the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission and the City of Minneapolis, recently advertised to receive bids from construction contractors for park and water quality pond improvements at Bryn Mawr Meadows Park.
After bids are received in late July, the MPRB will recommend a low, responsive bidder.
Originally scheduled for early spring, the bidding process was delayed due to longer-than-expected permitting and approvals processes. In response, the MPRB now anticipates a construction timeframe between mid-September 2022 and summer 2023.
The updated timeframe reduces the chances of MPRB receiving too few bids or more expensive construction bids during the summer, the busiest season for contractors. In that case, the project would be further delayed.
MPRB will send another update in late July or early August, as soon as results of the current bidding process are confirmed.
About the project
MPRB's planning, design and construction of park improvements at Bryn Mawr Meadows Park is based on the park's approved master plan and about $3.7 million in available funds. The project also includes construction of a stormwater pond on the park's north side, in partnership with the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission and City of Minneapolis. The concept plan for park improvements includes the following features:
- Native landscape greenway
- Reconstructed athletic fields
- New trails
- Play area
- Picnic shelter
- Basketball court
- Broomball and open skate meadow
- Batting cages
- One-mile trail loop
- Parking lots
- Bike park skills area
- Open free field space
