AGENDA ITEM:
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR TRAILS, A BASKETBALL COURT
AND A PARKING LOT AS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2002 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
DISCUSSION:
History
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 was necessary for us to prepare plans and
specifications.
At the February 19, 2002 City Council meeting, the staff was authorized to prepare plans and
specifications for Trails, a Basketball Court and a Parking Lot. The purpose of this agenda item
is to approve these plans and specifications and authorize staff to solicit bids for Trails, a
Basketball Court and a Parking Lot.
Current Circumstances
The following projects are identified in the 2002 C.l.P. The trail sections are identified in the
Parks and Trails Comprehensive Plan.
Trails
Lords Street
Sand Point Park
Wilds Park
Basketball Court
Wilds Park
Parkin!:! 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 the east side of 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, accessable entry to the park and its amenities.
Wilds Park Trail
Now that Wilds South is being developed, residents are 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.AY (Hoops in the Park) and the Wilds neighborhood are anxious to install a basketball court
in this park. We will request that P.L.AY participate but intend to proceed with the project in any
case. This will be a half court with one basketball standard.
Wilds Park Parkina 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.
Issues
The design of these projects was done in-house as a cooperative effort between Public Works
Parks Maintenance and Engineering divisions.
Conclusion
Staff is requesting that Council approve the attached resolution approving the plans and
specifications and authorizing solicitation of bids. Staff anticipates a bid opening on June 25,
2002. In July, the Council will be asked to award a contract for this work.
