Heritage Woods expansion in the works
The Naperville Park District is moving on to the next stage of its planned expansion at the 6.5-acre Heritage Woods site with the recent award of a $492,000 contract for geologic-related work on the property. The project is a part of the district’s successful March bond referendum.
Under the terms of the contract, Geologic Associates Inc. representatives will conduct a first-phase environmental site assessment, pre-demolition assessment, evaluation of underground storage tanks, total project cost estimates, among other tasks.
Last fall, the district paid Geologic Associates Inc. $21,810 for a due diligence process while the bond referendum was still in the proposal stage. The new contract brings the district’s total contract with Geologic Associates Inc. to $513,810.
