(KAIR)--A new basketball court is coming to Atchison's LFM Park.
That follows action of the Atchison City Commission Monday evening.
Public Works Director Justin Pregont presented the proposal to the Commission, with documents included with the meeting's agenda outlining the poor condition of the current court at the north side park.
The basketball courts are cited as some of the most frequently used facilities in the city's parks system, but have not undergone any significant improvements since 2007 when the court received an asphalt overlay.
Working with a budget of $90,000, the city received three proposals to conduct the project, with the lowest of them submitted by Multicon.
The Wichita based company proposes to conduct the project at a cost just one dollar shy of $100,000.
Following discussion about details for the court facility replacement, the Commission voted unanimously to approve the $99,999 expenditure, as well as an additional $7,500 to be used to manage small change orders during construction.
A timeline for the start of the project is not immediately known.
