The City intends to select a qualified Design Consultant for landscape architectural design and engineering services for Phase I development of 40-acre John D. and Byrd Mims Garison Memorial Park in Buda, Texas. The project includes maintaining and enhancing recreational water access for the public through identified activities in the Garison Park Master Plan. Phase I of the project includes: site parking; waterfront access including kayak/canoe launch, fishing, and swimming; trails; landscaping; and other site amenities including on and off-site utilities and infrastructure. Phase II of the project includes: construction of a Nature Center and event rental space, evaluation and possible restoration of existing homestead structures and barn, and restoration of native prairie land throughout the park. The project's goal is to seek City Council and Parks Commission concurrence on the elements to include in the Phase I design and develop a construction set of plans for the elements identified in Phase I. The design team will also identify probable construction costs to be evaluated for consideration in an upcoming bond election and offer a unique, sustainable, and exceptional park for the citizens of Buda for both Phases I and Phase II of the project. The City will be applying for a TPWD grant for this project and requests assistance in the process of writing the grant.
The Consultant shall plan for the required meetings with staff and presentations to the City Council necessary to complete this project by the end of December 2021.
