The WTRP Grant Planning Committee reviewed 75% design review of the nature play <br /> features and shelter at the May 8,2019,planning meeting. It was decided last spring that the project <br /> would go out to bid this winter for a 2020 spring/summer construction. <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 /> WSB Senior Landscape Architect Candace Amberg will present the designs for final approval. Final <br /> construction documents and bidding services should be completed early 2020 for late winter bidding. We <br /> hope to see final approval of a contractor by mid-March. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> The construction budget for the shelter and nature play is $325,000. The Park Improvement Fund <br /> amount of$90,000 will be used for the well, trails, two shelter concrete pads and picnic tables. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ WTRP project layouts <br /> ■ WTRP final design concepts <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A PehoMing community Pitb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional P,`01 W E H E 8 6 T <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAMIRE1 <br />
