<br />recommending that the larger 5-12 play structure be the ‘Bayou’ color palette and the 2-5 play <br />area be the ‘Shine’ color palette, which will complement the larger structure and bring in some <br />color that will be inviting to the 2-5 year-old playground users. <br /> <br />OTHER RELATED WORK: <br />With the grade and ADA accessibility issues, other site work will need to be done, including: <br />• Site Preparation <br />• Concrete Container <br />• Sidewalk <br />• Trail Work <br />• Safety Surface <br />• Installation Costs <br /> <br />Those costs are yet to be finalized, but estimated amounts for the above work are $175,000. <br />Staff will continue to work on finalizing those numbers. One area that may offer a significant <br />costs savings is in the installation costs. Staff is looking into completing this project with a <br />community build. Approximately 90-100 people would need to commit one weekend and with <br />the help of two professional installers there would be substantial savings on the installation costs. <br />Nonetheless, staff will continue to make sure everything is ready for this project to start right <br />away in the spring of 2019. <br /> <br />SOURCE OF FUNDS: <br />$285,000 has been budgeted for the entire project from the General Capital Improvement Fund <br />(400) with $140,000 from the 10% FUND (400) being transferred into the General Capital <br />Improvement Fund to offset the cost. <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Staff recommends the City Council approve and accept grant funds from GameTime for the <br />Spooner Park Playground Equipment in the amount of $84,205.00 & Authorize Payment for the <br />Balance of Equipment Costs up to $107,875.25. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• Spooner Park Playground Plan <br />• Equipment Design and Features <br />• Color Palettes <br /> <br /> <br />
