DATE: 06/21/2016
REGULAR
ITEM #: 27
MOTION
AGENDA ITEM: Tablyn Park Improvements Approval
SUBMITTED BY: Emily Becker, City Planner
REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
THROUGH: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
BACKGROUND:
At its meeting on May 16, 2016, the Parks Commission reviewed estimated pricing of desired
improvements for Tablyn Park. The approximate total of the cost for these items was $129,350. The list
of estimated pricing and site plan of desired improvements is attached.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
Should the City Council authorize Staff to obtain quotes for desired improvements?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
As of May 31, 2016, the Park Dedication Fund’s balance was $888,411.04. The Parks Commission is
requesting these improvements be completed this year.
The requested improvements to Tablyn Park were discussed at length at the Parks Commission February,
March, April, and May meetings. The Commission evaluated the estimated pricing of these improvements
and chose the most viable options; their recommendation is to not accept quotes that total more than
$130,000. Materials will be purchased separately; Staff will obtain separate quotes for the following
improvements: site work, lighting, playground equipment and installation, and warming house/restrooms.
It is expected that no individual quote will exceed $100,000, so the formal bidding process would not be
necessary in this case.
It should be noted that the plan to extend the parking lot area would result in the removal of the basketball
court. A proposal to remove this basketball court was previously brought to a City Council meeting on
September 1, 2015, during which Council expressed concern, requesting more information and did not
approve the removal. The proposed improvements do not include replacement of the basketball court or
hoop.
