Council approves design‑build contract to replace undersized North Park concession and restroom building

Alpharetta City Council on July 28 approved a design‑build contract with Prime Contractors, Inc., under the Georgia EZ‑IQC cooperative procurement, to replace the two‑story, undersized concession/restroom building at North Park’s softball quad.
Parks Director Rogers told council the facility has been on the capital improvement program since 2017 and is the system’s most undersized restroom. The project will increase restroom stall count by 150%, expand concession operations for the Alpharetta Youth Softball Association, add covered seating and perform demolition of the existing structure. The contract amount is $794,916.68 and the city will use impact fees for funding.
Staff estimated the construction timeline at six months after notice to proceed and said the four softball fields will remain accessible during construction. Council unanimously approved the award and authorization for the mayor to execute the contract.
Council and staff noted the economic and community benefits of modern facilities for youth sports and tournaments that attract visitors to the city.
