Option 2: Offers a single climbing structure with three slides. A swing is incorporated with 2 swings and <br />two additional chair spinners. This area is approximately 55 x 53 and includes seating. Total equipment <br />cost for this option is $79, 927. <br /> <br />Both options will include a concrete border around the playset and swing and use safety chips within the <br />constructed area. <br /> <br />Staff is recommending the construction of an asphalt trail from 53rd St. N to the play structure to meet ADA <br />compliance. The base of the trail would be constructed by staff with a contractor providing the bituminous. <br />Expected cost of the extended trail is $15,000. <br /> <br />With the removal of several large oak trees over the past several years, staff recommends planting four <br />mature trees in the park near the new playset. Expected cost of the trees is $1000. <br /> <br />Public works staff will remove the existing playset, boarder and pebble rock. The old area will be covered <br />with black dirt and seeded. Additional installation expenses include a dumpster, seed and blanket which is <br />expected to be about $900. <br /> <br />City staff presented the following option to the Parks Commission at their January 2024 meeting. <br />Commissioners voted in favor of option 2 and asked staff to increase the swing size and add the cargo net <br />to the play area. Commissioners voted 6-0 in favor of the project. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />Fiscal impacts are outlined in the 2025-2034 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). CIP items are funded though <br />the Parks Dedication Fund while future Operations and Maintenance items are funded through the Public <br />Works Budget. <br /> <br />The outlined project was scheduled in the 2025 CIP for $65,000. Upon staff review of the playset, staff <br />suggested to add a park trail to the playset and additional trees to the project following recommendations <br />from the Parks Master Plan. Funds are available in the Parks Dedication Fund to cover the additional cost <br />of the project. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the following motion: <br /> <br /> “Motion to purchase and install a new playground set as proposed by city staff at Kleis Park with <br />the addition of an asphalt trail, trees and installation expenses not to exceed $115,000.” <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• Flagship Recreation Playground Options 1 and 2 <br />• Flagship Final Proposal <br />• Klies Park Map <br />• Proposed Asphalt Trail Map
