Discussions were also conducted to discuss dock specifications, pricing and ADA feasibility with <br /> Charlie Groetsch, MINNCOR's engineer and Doug Johnson, Account Manager on 5-24-16. Mr. <br /> Johnson indicated "the cost, if this site were to be made ADA accessible, would be extremely <br /> high." Mr. Groetsch concurred. In May of 2016, discussions with Paul Paige, Hoisington <br /> Koegler, also indicated that high costs may be used as a factor to determine ADA accessibility <br /> infeasible. <br /> Additional discussions with the DNR indicated that approximately one of every four public docks <br /> in the state are ADA accessible, and that often, "extremely high costs and location"justify and <br /> support ADA requirements being infeasible. . <br /> Based on our research and discussions with professionals in the field, we strongly recommend <br /> staff to recognize that providing an ADA compliant dock would be infeasible at this particular <br /> location. <br /> • Design options describing the type of dock and ramp to include materials type <br /> (aluminum, composite, wood, etc.) would need to be reviewed by city staff- T. <br /> Sevcik <br /> City staff has requested that a public dock located in downtown Elk River must be temporary. <br /> Attached are three temporary design options and estimated costs provided by MINNCOR: <br /> 1. 52-ft Custom Fishing Pier(1072100600): Cost estimate: $20,000- $23,000 <br /> 2. "L" Pier Assembly (1078108600): Cost estimate: $16,000- $18,000 <br /> 3. "T" Pier Assembly (1078104000): Cost estimate: $16,000- $18,000 <br /> Dock materials include sturdy 2" by 8" board construction, modular construction with treated <br /> pine deckinga and rails, steel parts that are hot-dip galvanized for long wear, rotation-molded <br /> with solid foam filled floats and rod mount holes. We are proposing temporary, aluminum stairs <br /> that are compliant with the DNR and MINNCOR. Estimated cost is $5,000. <br /> We are excited about this opportunity, and look forward to your prompt feedback, so we can <br /> proceed with this project in conjunction with the park expansion. <br /> If you have any questions, or would like to meet further to discussion, please do not hesitate to <br /> contact me at 763-568-9498 or at anniedecklangroup.com. <br /> Thank you <br /> Respectfully <br /> Annie B.
