Request for Proposals - Sankey Park Phase lll Construction

The City is now accepting proposals from firms with demonstrated experience in the areas necessary to complete this project successfully. The proposed project includes a 600-foot sidewalk along 14th Avenue connecting the upper and lower parking lots, approximately 855 feet of hard surfaced trails and 720 feet of soft surface trails to connect upper and lower Sankey Park, and extension of an existing trail to provide water access, along with additional lighting, security cameras, park benches, amphitheater seating, and vegetation removal.

Sankey Park is a 14-acre park with natural amenities such as Douglas fir, Oregon White Oak, Salmon Berry, Oregon Grape, etc. Ames Creek runs along the northern border of the lower park and has a variety of fish and a healthy riparian zone. The park includes the historic Weddle Bridge, a gazebo, restrooms, play structures, rental areas, three parking lots, picnic tables, benches, accessible trails, non-established trails, and a rough BMX track. In 2019 the City of Sweet Home was awarded an OPRD Local Government Grant to complete Phase II. The project was completed in Fall of 2021 and included an accessible playground structure, a plaza connecting the playground structure to the bridge and paths, lighting, benches, and a network of accessible paths connecting the variety of amenities in lower Sankey Park.
