The project will retain some existing infrastructure, including the control building, portions of existing drives, playground, and select trees. Though a precise budget range is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the renovation suggests a significant capital investment in park infrastructure modernization. The bid opening will be conducted via public conference call at 3:00 PM Eastern Time on the closing date, with dial-in information to be provided.
