PROJECT DETAILS
DESCRIPTION:
The Stevens Park existing parking area currently provides approximately 84 parking spaces and has
experienced deterioration over time, including pavement failure along edges and corners, as well as
areas of standing water due to inadequate drainage.
This project will include full reconstruction of the parking area to address structural de�iciencies,
improve drainage, and increase parking capacity. The proposed layout expands the lot to include a
total of 96 standard parking spaces and 6 accessible spaces in compliance with ADA requirements.
Additional improvements include the construction of a designated drop-off lane and an expansion
of the parking area approximately 8.5 feet toward the adjacent soccer �ields.
The parking area reconstruction work shall be coordinated with the Stevens Park Pavilion project
and is anticipated to occur following completion of the pavilion construction and associated utility
work. Contractors shall account for coordination and sequencing of work activities accordingly.
Upon request, the Town will provide a paving and curbing plan prepared by Emanuel Engineering,
which shall serve as the basis for all work performed under the awarded contract.
