Summary & Background Richardson Park is a historic building constructed around 1920 and is used seasonally from Memorial Day to Labor Day, primarily for recreational programs sponsored by the Town.

Work is to be completed upon a schedule mutually agreeable to the Town and the successful Contractor. If an acceptable schedule cannot be agreed to the Town may award the contract to another Contractor. The Town will work with the Contractor to ensure that all permits are obtained and all work will comply with permit requirements. Scope of Work 1. Site work: a.
