included in the design, with the exception of the basketball court. As a result of wetland mitigation, there i no room on
site for a basketball court. Mr. Wilbrecht then distributed the project schedule and budget (attached), and explained that
staff is currently finalizing the bid documents. Authorization to publicly bid the project will occur at the October 7
Council meeting. Bid opening is scheduled for November S. Road construction will begin one month after park
constriction starts. Park completion is scheduled for the fall of 1998. Volunteers will be utilized for some areas of work,
resulting in a cost savings. The Soccer Association will install the lights on the soccer fields, and staff will solicit
volunteers to install lights on the baseball fields as well. Mitigation plantings in the BPA corridor area will also be
completed by volunteers. Other cost saving methods include reduced fencing at the baseball quad, elimination of the
island at the entry way, and reduced road pavement thickness. Landscaping will be reduced, but will s till comply with
City code. Mr. Wilbrecht noted that a project administrator will be hired to be on site during construction. Fencing will
be in place to keep people off the playin fie for one year until they are playable in 1999.
