Lindberg Park path work to begin in late summer

Even as work is expected to get under way this summer for Phase Two of the Lindberg Park Master Plan, the Salisbury Township Board of Commissioners is looking toward next year and Phase Three.

Township commissioners have approved an architectural services proposal for Phase Three because of the work involved with designing a pavilion building.

Commissioners voted 5-0 to approve a bid of $17,500 by Alloy5 LLC Architecture to design a new pavilion in Lindberg, which will include an Americans With Disabilities compliant bathroom. The pavilion in use does not meet ADA requirements.

Commissioner Joanne Ackerman made the motion for the vote, seconded by Commissioner James Seagreaves.

The new pavilion is to be built next year. A storage facility will also be constructed.

“Plans and design and engineering need to be done this year,” Assistant Manager, Director of Finance and Acting Manager Cathy Bonaskiewich explained to commissioners prior to the April 28 vote.

Randy D. Galiotto, principal, Alloy5 Architecture, Bethlehem, and Len Policelli, project manager, Urban Research and Development Corp., Bethlehem, consultant for the Lindberg Park Master Plan and the William H. Laubach Park and Franko Farm Master Plan, attended the meeting.

Commissioners voted 5-0 to approve a bid of $500,248.53 by Charlie Nansteel Tree Service & Excavation LCC, Bangor, to install Flexi-Pave, a flexible, porous pavement for pathways in Lindberg Park. Flexi-Pave is the same material used for the perimeter walkway in Lindberg Park.

Ackerman made the motion for the vote, seconded by Seagreaves.

“We got a lot of good feedback on the perimeter trail, so we’d like to continue that,” Bonaskiewich said of the use of Flexi-Pave.

Commissioners voted 5-0 to approve a change order for the pathways work because the township can purchase the Flexi-Pave from its manufacturer, which will reduce the awarded bid by $92,317.50. Flexi-Pave is manufactured by K.B. Industries, Inc., Largo, Fla.

Commissioner President James A. Brown made the motion, seconded by Ackerman.

Phase Two work in Lindberg Park is to begin in late summer.

The Lindberg Park Master Plan has 12 phases.

Phase One was construction of the approximate three-quarter-mile perimeter walking path.

Phase Two includes the interior pathway.

Phase Three is the new pavilion, storage shed and baseball field improvements.

Phase Four includes improving swales.

Phases Six and Seven involve Lindberg Avenue traffic calming and playground improvements.

Phases Eight and Nine include improved parking lots, drop-off areas and signs.

Phase 10 has to do with establishing a tranquility garden.

The order of the phases can be changed.
