Post Falls approves Quarry Sports Complex Phase 1 construction contract

The City Council approved two agreements on April 21 to move forward with Phase 1 construction of the Quarry Sports Complex.

Parks Planner Robbie Quinn summarized Phase 1 as two multi‑use fields, a restroom and shelter, a large parking lot, an entry plaza and a maintenance yard. The project was put out to bid; staff received one responsive bid from La Riviere at just under $4.9 million (about $138,000 under the engineer’s estimate). Staff recommended awarding the construction contract with a 5 percent contingency and separately approving a construction‑administration contract with the city’s consultant (MTLA) for inspections and administration.

Quinn said roughly $1.25 million of the construction funding will come from a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant previously accepted by council and the remainder from park impact fees. If approved, staff planned to issue a notice to proceed in May 2026 with an eight‑month construction window and substantial completion in November.

Council approved the construction agreement and the construction administration contract on roll call.

What happens next: Staff will execute the construction and administration contracts, issue a notice to proceed and manage construction per the approved schedule. The city will track grant and impact‑fee reimbursements for project accounting.
