MEMORANDUM To:City of Saint Anthony Village Parks & Environmental Commission From:Jeremy Gumke, Public Works Director and Zach Lundberg, Public Works Superintendent Date:September 18, 2023 Parks & Environmental Commission Meeting Request:Silver Point Park Playground Replacement BACKGROUND City staff has been working on a replacement plan for the Silver Point Park playground equipment over the past few years, and prioritized the replacement due to its age and non-compliance with current ADA standards. An initial replacement quote was obtained but the project did not move forward until funding was identified. When that was ready, the vendor was unresponsive and after multiple attempts to obtain and updated quote staff sought out another vendor and got a response from Minnesota Wisconsin Playground. During this time the playground structure replacement was in discussion with the Commission, and two priorities were identified to include in the new structure under the space constraints: Accessibility over and above ADA standards Addition of a swing set These priorities were discussed with the vendor, and by slightly reconfiguring the trail and concrete ring, both priorities were able to be integrated into the available space. Attached you will find the project quote, diagram and rendering of the new play structure. PROJECT COST The cost of the new playground structure and addition of safety surfacing in place of the existing material, the total cost of the project will be $220,500.00. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff will be recommending approval of the project to the City Council DISCUSSION ITEMS FOR COMMISSION FEEDBACK Below are the specific items for discussion and feedback for staff: Does the Commission have any feedback on the proposed plan for the City Council? NEXT STEPS Staff will bring the proposed plan to the City Council for approval at their October 10, 2023 meeting.
