CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
JUNE 16, 2008
5F
STEVE ALBRECHT. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF
MATERIALS FOR THE SHEPHERDS PATH PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is for the City Council to approve the purchase
of materials for construction of the Shepherd's Path Park pedestrian bridge.
Historv
As part of the Shepherd's Path PUD the developer paid $25,000 for construction
of a pedestrian bridge connecting the trail along the back side of the church to
the gazebo and trail across the wetland. This money was escrowed in the
Capital Parks fund for this specific item.
Current Circumstances
The trails and gazebo have been completed and the only remaining park
improvement as part of the current Shepherd's Path PUD addition is construction
of the pedestrian bridge. This bridge was identified in the 2007 CIP for
construction.
Staff has received quotes for the materials required to construct the bridge
including manufactured portion of the bridge. Two quotes were received for the
steel and wood bridge structure from Custom Manufacturing $16,853.16 and
Wheller Lumber $23,483.25. In addition to the bridge superstructure there is
$8,024.82 worth of materials required to set and deck the bridge. The total
bridge cost is $24,877.98 excluding labor which the City agreed to provide as
part of the PUD.
Future developer funded PUD improvements will include a shelter, parking area
and play structure at the park. These improvements are linked to future
additions of the overall PUD.
Conclusion
The developer has escrowed the funding with the City for the bridge
improvements and those improvements are justified at this time.
There are no issues with this item.
The Capital Park Fund has the dedicated amount of $25,000 currently reserved
for this improvement.
