River's Bend Playground $50,000 <br /> <br />Each year the City has attempted to replace existing play equipment that does not meet <br />Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines with new play structures. This project would <br />be funded from the depreciated amount within the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund from <br />the original late'80's purchase. The Commission is recommending that bids be requested from <br />playstructure vendors for both contract installation as well as volunteer installation. The intent <br />would be to use volunteers to receive more play value - if an effective volunteer installation can <br />be assured. <br /> <br />Action Required: <br /> <br />1) Request bids for playstructures <br />2) Invite proposals for volunteer installation <br />3) Receive Park and Recreation Commission direction on volunteers or <br /> Contract installation and vendor selection <br />4) City Councils bid award <br /> <br />Solstice Park Irrigation and Landscape <br /> <br />$45,000 <br /> <br />The majority of this $45,000 project, financed by the Landfill Trust Fund's interest earnings, <br />would be for needed irrigation and landscape improvements to this 1.8-acre park. <br /> <br />In addition to a significant amount of needed landscaping, a horseshoe pit and "washer pit" <br />would be constructed as well as a volleyball court and entry signage. It should be noted that the <br />property to the east might be developed with townhomes, including the dedication of additional <br />park acreage for a ball field. The timing of this may work well for that field space to be irrigated <br />following this project. The park dedication monies (over the land dedication) may pay for <br />improvements to the expansion area. <br /> <br />Action Required: <br /> <br />1) City staff designs a park plan and an irrigation system <br />2) Staff hires, individually, the various trades to work with staff in the <br /> construction of the project <br />3) Landscape materials and plants are purchased after quotations <br />4) An entrance sign is designed and constructed <br /> <br />Finance Committee Action: <br /> <br />Recommend City Council approval of the 2000 Park's Capital Improvement program as <br />presented. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br />Public Works Director <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />FC: 7/25/00 <br /> <br />Copies to: <br /> <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />/kas <br /> <br /> <br />
