It was discussed last spring that the project would go out to <br />bid this winter for a 2020 spring/summer construction. <br /> <br />WSB has refined the design concepts and unit prices keeping the grant project at its projected <br />construction budget. This will be done by focusing the phases of construction on the priority areas <br />recommended by the WTRP Planning Committee (shown in dashed red circles on the attached final <br />design concept). These areas and the entire nature play area, including the alternates, have been planned <br />to keep costs down through donations and volunteers. <br /> <br />WSB Senior Landscape Architect Candace Amberg will present the designs. The next step is to present <br />the Commission recommendations at the January 6, 2020, City Council meeting. Final construction <br />documents and bidding services should be completed early 2020 for late winter bidding. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />The construction budget for the shelter and nature play is $325,000. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> WTRP project layouts <br /> WTRP final design concepts <br />
