The Parks and Recreation Department opened bids on February 6, 2025, for Longhorn Park Renovation Project No. PKR-P-7448. The project will replace aging park features and enhance amenities, including a new playground, play pit, fitness equipment, pavilion, looped walking path with lighting, trees, upgraded irrigation, and full ADA accessibility compliance.

The lowest responsive and responsible bid was submitted by Infra Construction, LLC in the amount of $2,038,650. Seventeen (17) complete bids were received for the project as shown in the attached bid recap.

The renovation will provide numerous benefits: upgraded park walkways and playgrounds to meet accessibility and code standards, a new irrigation system to support healthy trees and turf, improved lighting for safety, a new pavilion, play equipment with a shade structure for sun protection, fitness stations, and additional benches along trails as requested by the community.

If the project is not awarded, the park amenities and features will remain non-compliant with current accessibility and safety standards. The aging play equipment, which is beyond its life cycle, will not be maintainable to manufacturer safety standards and may need to be removed without replacement.
