Contractor Selected for Sharon’s Bay Park Redevelopment
NEW LENOX – The New Lenox Community Park District is moving forward with plans to redevelop Sharon’s Bay Park, having approved a contractor for the project at its Wednesday meeting.
The Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to accept the base bid from Hacienda Landscaping Incorporated, pending a final legal review of the contract. The decision positions the company to lead the upcoming revitalization efforts at the park.
The approval followed a review of bids that were formally opened on June 10. During the meeting, Board President Schulz presented the bid results and summary to the commissioners and asked for any questions or comments before calling for a vote.
Commissioner Larson made the motion to approve the bid from Hacienda Landscaping, with Commissioner Kraemer providing the second. The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote from the board, which also included Commissioner Fischer and President Schulz.
Details of the redevelopment plan and the total cost of the project were not discussed during the public portion of the meeting. The project is one of several capital improvements the park district is undertaking to enhance community recreational spaces.
