Lakeview Park in Granite Shoals should have a new fishing pier within a year thanks to an LCRA grant and recent approval from the City Council. File photo
Granite Shoals is moving ahead with plans for a new fishing pier at Lakeview Park after the City Council on Nov. 17 approved for the city manager to negotiate a contract with one of three contractors that submitted bids for the project.
The contract, capped at $30,000, must meet all stipulations of the Lower Colorado River Authority grant that will help fund the work, as well as the conditions of the city’s existing LCRA lease agreement for the park.
The pier is the first of several planned upgrades for the small lakeside park, located at 2830 Lakeview Lane.
Earlier this fall, the Granite Shoals Parks Advisory Board, with support from city staff, applied for an LCRA grant to build the pier, which will include LED lighting. The city was awarded $23,370 for the project.
City staff is now seeking council direction to work with the three bidding contractors, Chapman Docks, Texas Decks and Docks, and Cragen Marine, to negotiate the project scope, deliverables, and timeline. The pier must be completed within one year to comply with the grant requirements.
City leaders describe the proposed pier as a quality-of-life enhancement that will provide a new gathering place for residents and help attract visitors.
Granite Shoals will cover a 22-percent match of the total project cost, about $6,500, with $2,000 of that to be covered through in-kind contributions from the city.
