Orangegate Park Phase 1 Site Improvements

The Contractor for this project should anticipate close coordination with all authorities having jurisdiction (TPU, Lumen, Pierce County Inspections, Summit Water, etc) as well as with Pierce County Parks Natural Lands Team. During the time construction of this project is occurring, the Natural Lands team will be creating soft surface trails within the Northern and Southern parcels of Orangegate Park. Some of these soft trails will have tie ins to trail stubs or hardscape installed by this Contractor. Coordination between Contractor and Natural Lands will be required to ensure that both entities can successfully complete their work for the park. Additionally, the Contractor should anticipate public interest in the project and engagement with the surrounding community. Also, given the long history of the undeveloped parcel being used by the community for various activities, the Contractor should anticipate members of the public will likely try to enter the parcel during construction. Given the size of the parcel, the Contractor will need consider appropriate measures to keep work areas safe, separate, and secure. The southern portion of Orangegate Park (south of 84th) is open to the public, as is the pipeline trail. The Contractor should anticipate coordination with Pierce County to keep as much of the park open as possible while allowing construction work to also occur. The Contractor will need to consider how to best delineate work areas and keep the public safe. A Contractor that manages construction effectively, coordinates well with Pierce County and AHJs, and engages professionally with the public will lay a great foundation for success on this project.
