.tlf CRING 6- ASSOCIATES Memo TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer DATE: August 22, 2007 RE: Spooner Park Bocce Ball Court Bench Pads TAU UUMA The Park Department has received comments from the users of the Bocce Ball court in Spooner Park that the area between the benches and the court becomes muddy due to the lack of grass. During rain events dirt is being washed onto the courts. In review of the area there is no grass between the benches and the courts due to the limited area (approximately 4 feet) and the amount of foot traffic in front of the benches. There is also a small hill north of the bocce ball courts that directs some drainage toward the court. It is our recommendation that concrete pads be added to the bench areas. This work would entail removal of the benches, re- installation of the bench supports, and pouring of concrete pads approximately 5 feet wide by 28 feet long. These pads would eliminate the muddy conditions and direct water away from the bocce ball courts. We requested prices from numerous Contractors for the work and received the following two quotes. Arcade Concrete $2,850.00 Landmark Concrete Inc. $7,980.00 Arcade Concrete provided the lowest quote for the work. They are a local contractor specializing in driveway and concrete pad work. The other contractor is the curb contractor working on the 2007 street project. Based on the quotes we received we would recommend authorizing Arcade Concrete to complete the work. If you have any questions I will be at the City Council meeting tonight. 10062 Flanders Court NE — Blaine, MN 55449 — Ph: (763) 780 -0450 Fax (763) 780 -0452 Memo - 082207 -CC (Bocce Court Benches)
