<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Parks & Recreation Commission <br /> <br />FROM: Bill Dircks, Public Works Director <br /> DATE: April 4, 2024 <br /> RE: Pioneer Park Play Node Update <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED <br />No action is requested. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Pioneer Park play node project will get back underway once the weather warms up <br />following the recent snow. A punchlist has been put together with items that need to be finished <br />or repaired. <br />Some work was never completed before the first snow and cold temperatures and the bulk of that <br />work revolves around the splash pad. Other items that need attention are the restoration of the <br />grass along the path of the drain tile that was installed south and west of the soccer field. The <br />field is unplayable until that work is complete and the contractor has been made aware of the <br />time-sensitive issue with that portion of the work. There are other, more minor turf and plant <br />restoration items as well. This was expected and is normal for a project of this size that went as <br />late into the season as it did. <br />Work continues on the camera system. Staff is waiting for some specific parts before the <br />cameras can be installed. Metro-INET is assisting the City with the camera portion of the project <br />and is working on getting the parts needed to finish up. <br />Some of the sidewalk and trail work needs to be redone due to concrete popouts, areas of asphalt <br />holding water, or a lip being created between some old and new sidewalk. <br />Overall, none of the items are too severe and should not stop the playground from being used <br />when temperatures warm up. Staff is hopeful that the contractor can get most of the items <br />completed before June. <br /> <br />
