Title:
Authorize Three, 2016 Parks Capital Improvements, and Adopt Resolution #16-09-157 Approving Plans and Authorizing Ads for Bids for Central Park Parking Lot Improvements
Purpose/Background:
The purpose of this case is to move forward on three of the 2016 Parks Capital Improvements—the first two for final funding approval and installation within two parks; and the third, authorizing bids for the Central Park parking lot improvements. For the parking improvements at Central, these Bids will be presented to City Council for consideration in October, 2016.
Notification:
Observations/Alternatives:
The two projects that are ready for implementation at this time are the drinking fountain (with misting station) on page 96 of the attached CIP document, and the large filtration system for The Draw's irrigation (pg. 104). As indicated, this case would also approve plans and specifications and obtain bids for the expanded parking at Central Park (pg. 97), for construction in 2016-17 pending Council approval in October. The following is a summary of the three 2016 park projects to supplement narrative within the CIP work sheets:
Drinking Fountain - Park Trust Fund @ $10,000
The city has been adding a drinking fountain with pet attachment and misting stations to parks with municipal water availability for the last several years, consisting of seven locations. These have been very popular including for joggers and dog walkers. The last year of this 'program' was scheduled to be Bear Park. However, it is recommended that the 2016 addition be Municipal Plaza, across from City Hall, and on the west side of Center Street. The improvement will be well used by travelers along Sunwood Drive, the myriad of dog walkers that are associated with the apartment buildings, the Farmers Market, and of course for future Happy Days events. A drinking fountain may be added to Bear Park in a subsequent year. While the CIP worksheet estimates the project cost at $7,000, staff is recommending a not-to-exceed amount of up to $10,000, as the water supply line may need to come from the city's pump house, necessitating a crossing underneath Center Street.
Irrigation Filter System for The Draw - Park Trust Fund @ $25,000

Irrigation Filter System for The Draw - Park Trust Fund @ $25,000
The self-cleaning filter system would remove algae and other material from The Draw's stormwater pond water that is used for irrigating the amphitheater, 7-acre park, ballfield and boulevards. The project includes filter system, controller, custom made cabinet, plumbing, earthwork and electrical. (Please see also the 'justification' portion of the CIP worksheet.) The filter system will have an estimated pay-back period of 5-6 years in terms of maintenance labor savings.
Parking Improvements for Central Park - Park Trust Fund @ $255,000 (to be approved at a later date)
This project has been carried forward within the Capital Improvement Program for at least the last 10-years. The essence of the project has been to add more parking, improve the flow of vehicular traffic, and provide a better distribution of parking stalls within the park. Attempts have been made to acquire additional land to the east of the existing park for a parkway, south to 161st Avenue, or to expand the park—but have been as yet unsuccessful. The attached plans provide for 70 additional parking stalls, better pedestrian movement (by a trail from the playground and large parking area to the northeast portions of the park), and are consistent with future plans by virtue of elimination of the temporary cul de sac and extension of the parkway at such time as land becomes available to the city.
The Engineer's Estimate is approximately $240,000 and includes administration and engineering charge-backs. At the time of bid approvals, staff would request authorization for approximately $15,000 for irrigation system repairs as necessary relating to grading and construction, but more so for the landscaped rain garden within the new parking area. Attached is the aforementioned cost estimate, plans and specifications, and Resolution #16-09-157.

Funding Source:
The Park Improvement Trust Fund would be the funding source for each of the aforementioned capital improvements. The Fund will have an approximate balance of $1.8M after the programmed 2016 Parks Capital Improvement projects.
Recommendation:
Staff and the Park and Recreation Commission recommends proceeding with the three capital improvements, pursuant to the description, justification and funding sources identified on CIP worksheets; pages 96, 97 and 104.
Action:
Motion to approve the two 2016 Parks Capital Improvements, consisting of the drinking fountain and irrigation filter system for The Draw at a not-to-exceed amount of $35,000 from the Park Trust Fund, and Adopt Resolution #16-09-157 approving plans, and authorizing Ads for Bids for the Central Park parking lot improvements.
