<br /> <br /> <br />DATE: August 4, 2021 <br /> <br />TO: Park Board Members <br /> <br />FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br /> <br />RE: Parks Updates <br /> <br /> <br />A. Tennis and Pickleball Courts Update - Erosion control measures are in place and general <br />earthwork and stormwater ponds development have started. The aggregate sub-base of the <br />courts has been placed with sampling/testing being conducted. <br /> <br />Sub-cutting of the parking and trail areas, along with storm sewer installation are scheduled for <br />the next week. Upper Midwest Athletic will begin pouring footings and installing the court <br />perimeter fence posts mid-August. Once the footings are complete, the concrete maintenance <br />strip and court bituminous will be installed. <br /> <br />Most significant delay revolves around the fence fabric. Aluminum coated steel that was specified <br />required approximately 12 weeks lead time. This puts delivery for early September. The contractor <br />suggested a substitution of zinc coated galvanized for the fencing, which is more readily available. <br />Long term we feel that the aluminized is a better product that will hold up better and last longer. <br />It is also smoother to the touch, as galvanized can have some sharp edges when the dipping takes <br />place. We chose to stay with the aluminum coated steel as specified. <br /> <br />The revised substantial completion date is September 30, 2021. <br /> <br />B. Lino Park - The large playground structure, swings, independent play events, concrete edging, <br />bike rack pad, and engineered wood fiber have been installed. We are still waiting on delivery of <br />the 2-5 age play structure. Public Services Department staff installed a wall mounted bottle filling <br />station on the irrigation shed. <br /> <br />The ornamental fencing material has been ordered with an expected delivery of mid-August. <br />Additional concrete work is scheduled the week of September 1. Benches and tables have been <br />ordered and are expected to be delivered mid-October. <br /> <br />C. Clearwater Creek Park Playground Replacement - Still plan on removing and replacing the <br />playground equipment at Clearwater Creek Park this Fall. <br />
