RE: Lefebvre Creek Park Budget Review
Background:
The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed and made a recommendation to the
City Council on Lefebvre Creek park amenities. Once that recommendation was made,
Tim Wold from SRF Consulting put together a cost estimate, staff reviewed the cost
estimates and the concept design. After reviewing the concept design, staff is
recommending that the shelter be moved from the north end of the playground to the
south end, which would allow for viewing of both the playground and pond. This would
then allow for the overlook area to be removed which would be a cost savings of
approximately $39,000. The cost of the trail lighting is also being removed due to the
park being in the Wright -Hennepin Electric service district. Wright -Hennepin will install
the lights at no initial cost to the City. Once the lights are installed the City will be
charged a $14 service fee per light standard as part of a service agreement.
With removal of the overlook and cost to install the lights the budget is estimated as
follows:
$338,429.80 Park Construction (Includes the 5% Contingency)
$62,505.63 Trail Extension from the park to 75th Street NE
$400,935.43 TOTAL
Requested Action:
Staff is requesting that the Parks and Recreation Commission review the material
included in this memo and provide a recommendation to staff on how they would like to
proceed with the Lefebvre Creek Park amenities.
