L CITY OF SHAKOPEE MEMORANDUM CO~U~ 'f . ;'I~~~ To: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator From: Travis Karlen, Recreation Supervisor Meeting Date: May 1, 2007 Subject: Consideration of Aquatic Park Improvements, Project No. PR2006-3 INTRODUCTION City Council is asked to consider additional improvements to the Aquatic Park with funding from the project budget for the Aquatic Park Support building. BACKGROUND In October 2006 City Council authorized further research of costs associated with the aquatic park building project enhancements including diving board replacement, waterslide replacement, fence replacement, landscape and irrigation, sand play area, and additional shade structures. At the April 3, 2007 meeting, Council authorized staff to move forward with requests for proposals for the design of the Aquatic Park waterslide to be budgeted in the 2008 CIP. At that meeting council also approved the use of funds from the 2006 recreation fund for the replacement of the diving board. DISCUSSION The remaining project enhancements are fence replacement around the park, purchase and installatiol'} of the sand play equipment, landscaping, irrigation, and additional shade structures. Proposed Additional Enhancements . Irrigation $2,289 The Shakopee Lion's Club is committed to the upkeep and aesthetics of Lion's Park, and has offered to install the irrigation system that would serve the new building as part of their work keeping up the park. The club has a member that has prior experience installing irrigation systems, and they did the current irrigation install around the picnic shelters. The proposed cost is for the materials, including an upgraded controller that would run the entire system. . Fence Replacement This enhancement would replace all fencing around the facility with black PVC coated fence. Although still functional with the exception of a few holes, the existing fence was installed in 1968, and replacing it would help with aesthetics. We received a price to replace the fence as a change order, and a quote from Pass Fencing. Change Order in Project: $28,331 Pass Fencing: $24,000, minus $6,500 change order credit $17,500 . Sand Play Structure $15,928 Addition of a sand play structure. The companies for the proposed purchases are Progressive Design Playgrounds and Burke, both of which provide sand play components. Burke has agreed to do the installation of the two company's products. PROJECT BUDGET SUMMARY Project CIP Budget: $1,080,000 Project Costs: Design and Construction Admin $ 108,200 Base Bid $ 703,000 Approved Bid Alternates $ 65,500 Ebert Construction Litigation Reserve $ 15,000 Change Orders & Other Costs $ 37,667 Asbestos Abatement $ 3,740 Permits $ 3,300 Testing $ 7,636 Warming House Gas Connection $ 2,991 Approved Additional Projects $ 24,489 Current Proposed Additional Projects Irrigation $ 2,289 Fence Replacement (with credit back) $ 17,500 Sand Play Structure $ 15,928 Total $1,072,240 If Council approves the proposed changes, the balance in the project budget is $72,760.
