Parks Drainage Improvements Tender

Project : PFO-002-21

Project Description : - To establish annual capital funding to improve parks with drainage issue to mitigate flooding which occurs during periods of heavy rainfall. There has been significant drainage issues in parks which has resulted in the flooding of residential properties that are adjacent to parkland throughout the City. An extensive conditional assessment review is required to identify parks that may present significant risk to the residential properties and result in flooding in parkland. The drainage issues also result in flooded sports field which result in the cancellation of events and the loss of revenue for the City recreation division. The flooding that occurs in parkland delays the commencement of grass maintenance as a result of the weight of the park equipment. Improvements to park drainage would reduce the standing water volumes and mitigate the potential damage to parkland and sports fields in periods subsequent to heavy precipitations levels. The projects under this funding will be based upon a conditional review of the drainage for parks to determine the prioritization based upon areas of need.
