2.0 Project Description
The Town of Breckenridge is requesting Proposals for the following services:

Carter Park Dog Park Improvements

Carter Park Dog Park is located at 300 South High St. The dog park is approximately one acre in size and located within the Town of Breckenridge. The dog park is central within Carter Park, a popular community park utilized by visitors and locals alike, year-round. The dog park is surrounded by tennis courts, a busy year-round events pavilion, and the popular wintertime sled hill. The dog park hasn’t seen large scale improvements for many years and would benefit from further drainage improvements and landscaping enhancements.

The project goals include drainage improvements to enhance the springtime experience within the dog park, improve pedestrian safety accessing the park, increase dog safety through landscaping features, and improve the circulation and user’s experience within the park.

The project will be phased over 2-3 years. Town staff are seeking proposals at this time for the first phase of the project.

To be minimally qualified for consideration for award, proposing contractors must have successfully completed a similar project that has a similar degree of complexity and cost within the past five (5) years.
