The Municipal Complex Trail concrete connection to the Library Garden is complete and includes a 25 by
25-foot concrete pad for a future pavilion amenity.
In order to pass the final inspection,contractors redid the ADA ramp's concrete landing at the Welcome
Center at the Brown House. The project will be complete and ready for final inspection after staff repairs
the drainage in the landing area.
The contractor added concrete pads and irrigation to the planter boxes behind the Senior Recreation
Center facility. Benches were also added to the area.
City Council reviewed the City of Sachse Maxwell Creek Landfill Trail Project during a work session.
Out of the four potential options,they directed Staff to pursue pricing for routes C and D. Council prefers
route D which will cost approximately$70,000 to add the small piece of eight-foot trail on the Wylie
Independent School District(WISD)property on Hensley Lane, connecting to the developer's existing
and potential trail pieces located on Woodbridge Parkway. It has yet to be determined whether the
construction costs will be the responsibility of WISD, the City of Wylie, or a shared cost. In the future,
the City of Wylie intends to add street lights and crosswalks at the Woodbridge Parkway and Hensley
Lane intersection.
The rip rap at the drainage areas on the west side of Founders Park is causing excessive maintenance
issues and is therefore being removed and replaced with concrete flumes. Concrete flumes have already
been added on the east side of Founders Park, and all but two concrete flumes will be added within this
fiscal year's budget; the final two concrete flumes will be added in the 2023/2024 fiscal year's budget.
The dog park and splash pad bid specifications are under review by our Purchasing staff and are expected
to be sent out for bid by the end of March. The process includes the bid opening, lasting up to four weeks,
review of the submissions by staff, selection of the vendor by staff,then final approval of the selected
vendor by the City Council. All bid packages will include the complete design plans with the option to
split construction into different fiscal years. The dog park will be a separate bid from the two splash pads,
which will be packaged together.
Staff is meeting with a vendor recently contracted for certain City of Wylie projects. Staff and the vendor
will discuss building a scope of work for the Senior Recreation Center renovation project.
