Purpose:
The County of Galveston is seeking a contractor to repair and/or replace the observation decks at one of the park locations. As a result of Hurricane Harvey, Walter Hall Park North and South Observation decks sustained damages from rising high velocity waters due to torrential rains and from high winds. FEMA has approved the repair/replacement and mitigation of these damaged elements of the decks. Mitigation consists of wet flood proofing the existing observation decks. This work includes changing decking, railing, and joist supports to composite type materials from pressure treated lumber. The composite material has a greater resistance to water contact, which reduces the risk of warping associated with similar events. The composite material will lower maintenance cost, increase resistance to wood destroying insects, and will not rot. Details of the work are outlined in the Project Drawings and Specifications. The Pre-proposal conference/site visit will be held on Tuesday, September 28, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. at Walter Hall Park, 807 SH 3 N, League city, TX 77573.
