golf path usage (discs and traffic), potential tree removal, and cost with and without lighting.

MEMORANDUM
To: Parks & Recreation & Forestry Commissioners
From: Don Peterson — Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation
Date: April 28, 2022
RE: Lambert Park Hockey Rink
Discussion/ Background
Staff proposed to the Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission to reduce the
overall size of the hockey rink at Lambert Park; create a % sized hockey rink, and move
the pleasure rink to the North -end of what is currently the hockey rink.
The Commission requested Staff to obtain proposals for reducing the size of the hockey
rink and replacing the hockey boards:
• Keller Fence, Inc of St. Paul, MN to install new post and chain link netting for the
hockey rink for $ 24,454.00
• Home Depot of Blaine, MN for lumber and hardware to install new boards for
$9,503.89
• Voss Lighting of Roseville supply (14) LED rink lights for $4,375.00
• Lakes Area Electric — installation of new lights $5,000.00
Total $43,332.89
Staff is also recommending a 7% contingency of $3,033.00 for any unforeseen issues
that may arise with this project and for any cost increases that may occur.
Funding would be from the Park Dedication account, 451-4470-7050 with a 2022
budget of $60,000.00, for new boards for the Lambert Park Hockey Rink.
Recommendation:
Staff is seeking direction from the Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission
regarding the Lambert Park Hockey Rink modifications.
Respectfully submitted,
Don Peterson
Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation
