b Board of Selectmen Minutes March 23, 2015 NEW BUSINESS: DPW--Sprina 2015 Project Update: Catherine Laurent, DPW Director updated the Board on the schedule of spring projects which include the Community Park,the Great River Boat Ramp/Parking Lot Improvement project and the completion of the Mashpee Dog Park. It was noted that as a result of the snow cover and depth of the frost,work may be delayed. The DPW anticipates resuming the Community Park project in mid-April. Work includes fine grading and the paving of walkways,the construction of stone entry columns,the installation of signage,planting and mulching of areas to be landscaped and the loaming and seeding of grass areas. During this phase, light poles will be installed in addition to benches,trash receptacles, and bike racks. The public restrooms located at the Archives building will be finished. However, due to site conditions,the installation of the concrete for the pavilion, grant curbing and asphalt may not be complete unless the ground has thawed and dried sufficiently. The grand opening of the facility remains on schedule for Memorial Day. In concern to the depth of the frost and the approaching start of the boating season,the DPW Director in conjunction with a request from the Waterways Committee recommended the postponement of the ramp construction project and related installation of the dock/float system to the fall of 2015. It was noted that Chapter 91 permitting, a requirement for the dock reconstruction was filed last month. For public awareness and advance notice, it was recommended the DPW Director appropriately post the anticipated closure of the Great River Boat Ramp. The remainder of the drainage work in the parking lot is scheduled for completion in early May. At this time,work associated to asphalt paving is also planned. Currently,the DPW is completing the lot clearing at the Mashpee Dog Park. Upon completion,the contractor will complete the remainder of the project which includes site excavation,the installation of water service, fencing and gates and surfacing using rice stone. With favorable weather conditions,the concrete walkways will be poured,and the parking areas paved. Site amenities will follow. The project is anticipated to be complete by mid-June.
