Francis Park Upgrades
HEI was selected by the City of Kewanee to provide design engineering and construction management services for this $600K IDNR-OSLAD funded park upgrade project that featured the addition of a shared use path in the wooded acreage of the park; an accessible 64’ X 80’ playground with a fall protective surface; an ADA parking location; and a new 30’ X 60’ Pavilion with secured storage. The OSLAD funding was secured by a grant application that was also developed in partnership with HEI and Bi-State, the local MPO.
The project consisted of earth excavation, an HMA, ADA compliant shared use path, signage, pavement markings, an ADA parking area, PCC sidewalk, playground site layout, pavilion site layout, and other collateral work.
HEI provided services including utility coordination, environmental coordination, site layout, clearing and grubbing plans, ADA path design, sidewalk design, surface drainage design, plans, specifications and estimates for a local letting, bid administration, construction management including on-site inspection and documentation, and grant administration including reporting and final project closeout.
