MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY DATE: JUNE 1, 1989 SUBJECT: SILVER VIEW PARK PATHWAY EXTENSION PROJECT The materials cost of the pathway extension has been budgeted in 1989. It was originally planned that City staff would perform the pathway installation. However, the heavy schedule of Public Works does not allow timely installation of this pathway (early sumer) as indicated to the residents. Therefore, staff has requested bids on this project. Three bids were received. Those bids are attached. I have performed reference checks on each and I am prepared to discuss each proposal at the agenda meeting. It has also been recommended and staff agrees that installation of a large culvert at the west side storm water sewer outlet would be a wise investment. This culvert would allow park maintenance vehicles to drive on the trail and over the ditch for greater efficient trail maintenance. The cost of the two culvert options are: Option #1 - 48" culvert $ 6,500.00 Option #2 - Metal arch $13,000.00 Option #3 - Inexpensive pedestrian bridge which would barely allow a small pick-up. $20,000 - 25,000.00 The size and style of the second culvert option has been recommended by City Engineer Minetor. It will be large enough to handle the five year storm. The budget has $3,157.00 for materials cost for the basic trail extension which will basically cover the materials costs of all the proposals (except the asphalt option). The additional options of labor for contracting the work and the cost of installation and purchase of a culvert is additional unbudgeted expenses that could be funded with monies from the Park Improvement Fund. Staff will be in attendance at the agenda meeting to discuss this park project and seek direction from the council as to how this project should proceed. MS/SL Attachment
