Recreation and Parks Committee for 8/24/2026

The City of Troy, Ohio Recreation and Parks Committee met on August 24, 2026, to discuss several procurement and capital improvement projects. Key agenda items included authorization for the Director of Public Service and Safety to enter into a professional services agreement with American Structurepoint for the redesign of Duke Park phases one and three, with a contract cost not to exceed $615,000. The firm was selected through a competitive RFP process involving nine proposals and multiple interviews. Additionally, the committee reviewed a $2.5 million project to replace the golf course irrigation system, including a separate $275,000 bid for a new well and pump station, with detailed discussion on project impact and scheduling. Lastly, the committee addressed the Troy Aquatic Park maintenance project, recommending an increase in contract authorization to $2.582 million to award the contract to Broombaugh Construction due to higher-than-expected bids. The committee emphasized the need for emergency legislation to expedite the contract award and discussed potential cost-saving modifications to bring the project below the $2.5 million threshold. The committee unanimously agreed to proceed with emergency authorization to avoid delays impacting the 2027 season.
