Mounds View City Council May 13, 2013 <br />Regular Meeting Page 11 <br /> <br /> K. Resolution 8104, Approving Playground Equipment Replacement and Site <br />Work at Silver View Park. <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar stated that the playground equipment at Silver View Park was <br />scheduled for replacement in 2013. He reviewed several options for the playground layout with <br />the Council. Staff also recommended the playground equipment be relocated within the park. <br />The new placement would allow for parents to better watch their children from the shelter and <br />softball fields. He commented the playground site would need to be leveled off slightly. <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar explained the vendor selected by Staff and the Parks Commission <br />for the playground equipment was Minnesota Wisconsin Playground out of Golden Valley, <br />Minnesota. He noted the proposed playground would include three units, one that would appeal <br />to toddlers, one for children ages 5-12 and a swing set. He explained the whirl unit and space <br />climber would remain in the park. He noted the new units would have to be ADA compliant. <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar indicated the total cost for the three new units was $81,475. It was <br />noted a three-foot wide concrete border would be added along with 12 inches of wood fiberfill. <br />The total cost for the units, site grading and groundwork would be $105,151.47 plus a 5% <br />contingency. He noted there would be an expense to refurbish the two existing pieces but should <br />not exceed $10,000. Staff recommended the Council approve the playground equipment <br />replacement at Silver View Park for a cost not to exceed $115,000. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller asked if the proposed color scheme would be green and beige. Public <br />Works Director DeBar stated this was the case as the brown and green tended to fade less than <br />reds and yellows. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty questioned if the park had a flat spot big enough for the playground equipment. <br />Public Works Director DeBar indicated that the sloped area would be leveled off to provide a <br />safe location for the equipment. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty noted Park Dedication Funds would be used for this expense. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Mueller.
