<br /> STAFF REPORT <br />DATE: 05/19/2025 <br /> Motion <br /> <br />TO: Parks Commission <br />FROM: Assistant Public Works Director – Adam Swanepoel <br />AGENDA ITEM: Ried Park Parking Lot Improvements <br /> <br /> <br />CORE STRATEGIES: <br /> <br />☐ Vibrant, inclusive, connected community ☐ Efficient, reliable, innovative services <br />☐ Responsive, transparent, adaptive governance ☐ Balanced Finances now and future <br />☒ Managed Growth ☒ Resilient Infrastructure <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The 2025 Capital Improvement Plan for the parks includes the renovation and expansion of the Ried Park <br />parking lot. With amenities in the park which include an updated ballfield, playground, biking and <br />walking trails, staff have seen an increase in use of the park over the years. The parking lot pavement has <br />exceeded its lifespan of use and has areas of extended patching and repairs. <br />Staff worked with the city engineer and Bolten and Menk to redevelop the parking area and adjacent trail. <br />Additionally, staff proposed the removal of the basketball court and the eastward expansion of the parking <br />lot to increase parking capacity. <br /> <br />ISSUE BEFORE THE PARKS COMMISSION: <br />Would the Parks Commission like to recommend to city council the expansion and replacement of the <br />parking lot at Reid Park? <br /> <br />PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: <br />The city received four quotes for Reid Park Parking Lot Improvements, scheduled by Bolten and Menk. <br />The total project cost was estimated to be $227,120 which is consistent with the bids received for the project. <br />The project included subgrade correction, sidewalk extension to 30th St., basketball court removal and <br />expansion of the parking area. <br />The sidewalk would extend alongside the parking area with a concrete apron attaching to 30th St. The <br />expansion of the parking area would expand to the east adding an additional 11 parking stalls. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />The parks capital improvement plan had $227,000 allotted toward the Reid Parking lot expansion. With <br />engineering and surveying expenses, costs are on track with the budgeted amount. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />“Motion to recommend to city council to approve the bid from Miller Excavating to reconstruct the <br />parking lot and trail at Reid Park not to exceed $227,120.” <br />
