Desert Arroyo Park - McKellips and Ellsworth (District 5)
The Desert Arroyo Park site is located at the northeast corner of McKellips and Ellsworth Roads on a 58-acre parcel of native desert owned by the City of Mesa. Park improvements are to primarily be constructed in the northern portion of the parcel adjacent to Zaharis Elementary School. The southern portion of the property is planned for a Maricopa County Flood Control storm water retention area as outlined in the Spook Hill Area Drainage Master Plan. An existing desert arroyo will be enhanced to develop an interpretive educational experience. There will be a looped trail system with areas that can be used as outdoor desert classrooms for environmental education.
Recommend award to Haydon Building Corporation, in the amount of $1,857,211.40 based on the GMP proposal of $1,688,374.00, plus an additional $168,837.40 (10% allowance for change orders). This project is funded by 2012 authorized Parks and Recreation bonds.
