BIGBY VILLA PARK IMPROVEMENTS

The Bigby Villa Park Improvements project, managed by the City of Fresno Capital Projects Department under project number PC00328, involves enhancing the park located at the northeast corner of East Florence Avenue and South Bardell Avenue in Fresno, California. The scope of work includes the installation of an accessible path of travel, pour-in-place rubber surfacing for play equipment, a new play structure, a new shade sail, and new benches, as well as necessary adjustments to the irrigation system. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and is being executed as a forecast. From an environmental and regulatory standpoint, the project has been granted a categorical exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Guidelines Sections 15301(d)/Class 1 and 15302/Class 2, as the work consists of repair and replacement with negligible expansion and no vegetation removal. The City of Fresno has filed a Notice of Exemption and a corresponding Categorical Exemption Environmental Assessment to confirm that no adverse environmental impacts will occur. Primary administrative contact for the project is Elodie Matadi, Engineer II, with additional lead agency coordination provided by Kimberly Alvarado Vega.
