The design team working on the Pleasantdale Park renovation, located in District 1,  has completed approximately 30% of the construction documents, translating the master plan and community input into detailed plans for the project.

Work is now underway on the final construction documents, which will fully define construction details, materials, and technical requirements. Once completed, these documents will be submitted for permitting and procurement before construction can begin.

Where Things Stand

The project is funded through $2 million in SPLOST dollars. Approximately $118,000 has been spent to date to get to 30% completion on these documents. The county is currently finalizing the proposal with the consultant to prepare final construction documents.

What Happens Next

The final construction documents phase ensures the project is thoroughly reviewed and compliant with all regulatory requirements. Once the documents are complete, they’ll go through DeKalb County’s permitting process and competitive bidding.

These steps are required before construction can begin and help ensure the project meets all technical and regulatory standards while getting the best value through the competitive bidding process.

Community Input to Reality

The current design and documentation phase takes the master plan developed with community input and converts it into the technical specifications needed for actual construction. The construction documents will specify everything from materials to precise measurements, giving contractors exactly what they need to build the improvements residents helped plan.

More updates will be shared as the project moves through the permitting and procurement phases.
