The Great Bend City Council will receive a motion next Monday night to
approve the low bid from Sharkey Construction for $99,850 for the Brit Spaugh Skate
Park concrete replacement.
The current surface at the skate park was resurfaced in the late 1990s. This
skate park area on Morton Street was originally constructed for tennis courts
in the 1970s. The layers of asphalt and concrete have deteriorated over the
years.
Through the .15% quality of life sales tax fund, Great Bend has allocated
$130,000 for the resurfacing of the 125’ x 125’ area. The remaining balance
will be used for new fencing and repairs to the ramps. The project is expected to be completed
by June.
The city council will discuss the agenda item at their meeting on Monday, April 3 at 6:30 p.m.
