When the City of Burlington issued a competitive Request for Tender (RFT) for the complete redevelopment of Apeldoorn Park and its surrounding facility, GEN-PRO was the successful bidder awarded the contract. Operating on a stipulated price basis, our team focused entirely on the high-quality physical construction and management required to bring the city’s pre-completed architectural and landscape designs to life. ### The Challenge: Balancing Heavy Industrial Build with Delicate Public Parklands The primary challenge of this project was its dual nature. We were tasked with executing two vastly different types of construction on a single, shared site. On one side, the project required heavy industrial construction, including the demolition of an old structure and the building of a rugged Roads and Parks Maintenance Facility. On the other side, we were working on a highly sensitive, public park redevelopment with specific cultural design requirements. Coordinating the heavy equipment required for concrete foundations alongside the delicate grading needed for new garden features required exceptional site management and strict safety protocols. ### Why This Project Was Essential The existing, outdated one-storey maintenance building was no longer sufficient for the city’s operational needs. Furthermore, Apeldoorn Park holds cultural significance for the City of Burlington, having been renamed to honor its official twinning with the city of Apeldoorn in the Netherlands. This redevelopment was to provide city staff with a state-of-the-art operations hub while giving the community a beautifully refreshed green space. ### Scope of Work As the general contractor responsible for executing the provided blueprints and specifications, GEN-PRO managed the complete site transformation. Our scope of work included: - Safe demolition and removal of the existing one-storey maintenance building to clear the way for the new infrastructure. - Erecting the new Roads and Parks Maintenance Facility from the ground up, featuring cast-in-place concrete foundations and floors, durable masonry walls, a new sloped roofing system, aluminum windows, and heavy-duty overhead doors. - Installation of a brand-new asphalt parking area and robust concrete walkways around the facility. - Executing the specialized landscape design for Apeldoorn Park, including a dedicated garden feature in the south-west section and a raised garden planter featuring plant species and colors reflective of the Netherlands. - Construction of a feature walkway, public seating areas, and a new junior playground complete with a swing set. - Overseeing all specialized trades, ensuring every detail aligned perfectly with the city’s design. ### Conclusion At GEN-PRO, we take pride in delivering versatile municipal projects that serve city operations and the general public. We provided the City of Burlington with an efficient, cost-effective construction solution. While the designs for the facility and the heritage gardens were provided to us by external consultants, our dedication to construction excellence ensured the final result is a durable, functional hub for city staff and a beautiful, welcoming park for the community.
