Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 October 31, 2001 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Clearwater Creek Park Update Bids for on -site earth work and installing the aggregate for the trails in Clearwater Creek Park were opened on October 16, 2001. Frattallone's Excavating was the low bidder with a approved bid amount of approximately $35,000. The on -site earth work includes the substantial berming as indicated in the master plan. The grading also includes stripping, stockpiling, re- spreading, and fine grading the topsoil to four inches settled depth. Aggregate will be laid for the internal trail loop. Trails around the playground area and entrance signs will be done at a later date. As you recall, the City of Lino Lakes was awarded a DNR Outdoor Recreation Grant in the amount of $125,000. This amount must be matched by the city through Park Dedication Funds, General Fund Dollars, or future referendum. The City Council has not yet designated the source of the matching funds. I suggest we continue with the development of Clearwater Creek Park. Perhaps we can address the playground equipment and gazebo this winter. I envision using the same process as past playground equipment projects which would be soliciting bids from area vendors, have residents and Park Board review the proposals and provide input, then make a final conclusion. The playground equipment and gazebo could then be installed next spring or summer. I have also been working will Brauer and Associates to develop a landscaping plan for Clearwater Creek Park. I have included a concept plan for your review. Perhaps the landscaping could also be installed next spring. RD: sw sw /parkbrd/meeting information/Clearwater Creek Park Update.doc
