The City of Independence (“City”) is requesting proposals from qualified engineering firms to provide professional electrical engineering design services for infrastructure improvements at Riverside Park & Ralph Mitchell Zoo.
The existing electrical infrastructure serving Riverside Park & Ralph Mitchell Zoo is aging and in need of modernization. Evergy, the local electric utility provider, has agreed to assume ownership and operation of the electrical service infrastructure upon completion of the proposed upgrades.

Utility power currently enters the park from Oak Street via overhead service. The City intends to replace aging infrastructure and establish a modern electrical distribution system that meets current utility and code requirements.
