The playground is a part of an interlocal agreement between LISD and the city of Lewisville and is located on district property adjacent to Bellaire Boulevard.
The specifics
The project will be funded through bond funds, land sale proceeds and bond interest earnings, district documents state.
The project will cost $841,356, which exceeds the approved project budget by approximately $275,000. Director of Communications Samantha Fitzpatrick said the board is working to determine where these additional funds will come from.
The estimated total cost also includes a 10% contingency fund that can be used for any unforeseen costs and will be returned to the district if not used.
LISD trustees approved VLK Architects for this project at a March 17 meeting and approved a competitive sealed proposal as the construction delivery method at an Aug. 4 meeting.
One more thing
District documents state construction will begin on the playground as soon as building materials arrive.
