AL FRIEDGES, PARKS SUPERVISOR
BUD OSMUNDSON, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE
PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAILS, A
BASKETBALL COURT AND A PARKING LOT AS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2002
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Historv
The Capital Improvement Program for 2002 contains a total of $79,000 to blacktop
various park facilities. Since this exceeds the $50,000 bid limit, it is necessary for us to
prepare plans and specifications. The purpose of this agenda item is to authorize staff
to prepare plans and specifications for trails, a basketball court and a parking lot.
Current Circumstances
The following projects are identified in the 2002 C.I.P.
Trails Basketball Court
Lords Street Wilds Park
Sand Point Park
Wilds Park
Parking Lot
Wilds Park
The work to be performed for each project is summarized below:
Lord Street Trail
As identified in the Comprehensive Plan, this will be a short section of trail that
connects the trail on County Road 21 to Raspberry Ridge Park and Raspberry Ridge
Development on the north side of Lords street.
Sand Point Park Trail
Currently there is no trail leading to the existing playground. The intent is to pave a
trail from Cedarwood Trail to the picnic shelter, basketball court and playstructure.
This would define the park access and allow the neighborhood easy, assessable entry to
the park and its amenities.
Wilds Park Trail
Now that Wilds South is being developed, residents will be anxious for us to complete
Wilds Park. This segment of trail will allow accessible entry to the park and its
amenities, and connect the trail system in Wilds South to the trail on Wilds Parkway.
Wilds Park Basketball Court
P.L.A.Y. (Hoops in the Park) and the Wilds neighborhood are anxious to install a
basketball court in this park. We will request that P.L.A.Y. participate but intend to
proceed with the project in any case. This will be a half court with one basketball

standard.
Wilds Park Parking Lot
This will be a small off street parking lot for 10 vehicles including one disabled parking
stall. The purpose of the lot is to get people off of busy Wilds Parkway.
The funding source for these parks and trails projects will come from the c.I.P. The
trail sections are identified in the Parks and Trails Comprehensive Plan.
The following is a break down of the cost estimates for the parks and trails projects.
Sand Point Park Trail >
Lords Street Trail
Wilds Park Trail
Wilds Park Parking Lot
Wilds Park Basketball Court
Total
$50,000
$20,000
$ 9.000
$79,000
Issues
The plans and specifications for the trails, court and parking lot are typically not
complicated as it is easy to quantify the length of trails and the quantities needed for
their construction.
Design of these projects will be done in-house as a cooperative effort between Parks
Maintenance and Engineering.
Conclusion
Staff is requesting that Council approve the attached resolution so that staff is able to
start preparing plans and specifications. The next step will be to request City Council
approval of the plans and specifications and set a bid opening date.
Budget Impact
The funds for these projects will be drawn from the Parks Dedication Fund portion of
the Capital Improvement Program. The total estimated cost for the projects will be
$79,000.
The alternatives are as follows:
1. Approve a resolution authorizing the preparation of plans and specifications for
trails, a basketball court and a parking lot.
2. Table this agenda item for a specific reason.
3. Deny this agenda item for a specific reason and provide staff with direction.
Staff recommends alternative number 1.
