Including the Miracle League Field, there are nine baseball fields in the park that host practices, games and tournaments April through October. Over the past year, staff and the South Metro Miracle League have been in discussions about constructing a universal playground at the park. In the 2014 CIP, $150,000 was budgeted for a universal playground, which includes a $50,000 contribution from the South Metro Miracle League as noted below: Revenues Park Dedication $100,000 Miracle League donation 50,000 Total $150,000 Expenditures New playground $150,000 Total $150,000 Universal Playground: Over the years, we have learned that accessibility is not enough. Simply getting a child with limited mobility onto the playground doesn't necessarily enhance their play experience. Nor does it take into consideration children with sensory deficits and other developmental issues. A universally accessible playground is a play environment specifically created to be accessible to all children including those with disabilities. It features more physically challenging routes of travel and/or activities beside ramp -accessible routes enabling children of all abilities to play side-by-side. Because disabilities go beyond physical limitations, designs meet the needs of children with mobility, sensory and cognitive impairments. In January, we began working with one of the Miracle League's national partners, Landscape Structures Inc. and their local representatives Flagship Recreation on a design that would incorporate the universal playground concept and also be baseball themed. Attached to this memo is the preferred design of staff and representatives of the South Metro Miracle League. The Council is being presented with three distinctly different surface options which have equally different price points (see attached drawings and budget sheets): 1. Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF) - This surface easily falls within the budget and while technically meeting ADA standards, it is not the recommended surface for this playground. EWF is difficult for kids with mobility impairments. Budget Cost Difference $150,000 $124,632 $25,368 2. Hybrid Surface of Poured -in -Place (PIP) & EWF - This surfacing option would be slightly over budget, however it would provide easy access for all ability levels to the majority of the play equipment. The main concern with this option is maintaining the transitions between the PIP and EWF. Budget Cost Difference $150 000 $1160,3401 ($110,340) 3. Full PIP Surfacing - This surfacing option is the most expensive, ($180,816) however it would provide a fully accessible unitary surface for the entire playground. However, due to the favorable bids received on the King Park parking lot project and a $5,000 donation from Minnesota Energy Resources, $10,000 more can go towards the project. As a result of this, an additional $20,816 would be needed to install the PIP surfacing which could be obtained through the use of additional Park Dedication dollars and/or donations/fundraising efforts as noted below. Revenues Cost Difference Park Dedication $100,000 Miracle League $ 50,000 MN Energy Resources $ 5,000 King Parking Lot Savings 5,000 $160,000 $180,816 ($20,816) Charlie Colvin from Flagship Recreation will be present at the Work Session to discuss the design and surfacing options. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the purchase of a playground with full Poured -in -Place surfacing at a cost of $180,816.00.
