Parks Committee 4-29-2026

The City of Green Bay Parks Committee held a meeting on April 29, 2026, where they discussed and approved the hiring of Grafe for architectural engineering services related to designing a new shelter concession stand at Colburn Park. The contract was awarded for $123,000, slightly over budget but covered by savings from other bond projects. The committee reviewed proposals from four companies and selected Grafe due to their comprehensive approach, including site work and stormwater management, which other lower-cost proposals lacked. The design phase funding was approved, with construction funding planned for future bond requests in 2027 or 2028. The committee also provided updates on park operations, staffing, and upcoming events, but no additional procurement actions were taken.
