Consider Paving Lund's North Park Parking Lot DATE: February 16, 2017 INTRODUCTION This item is in regard to considering paving the parking lot at Lund's North Park. DISCUSSION Attached is drawing identifying the area where City streets will be reconstructed for the upcoming construction season. The streets are in poor condition and need to be replaced. As part of the reconstruction of the street, there is a possibility of including the paving of the existing parking lot at Lund's North Park. The existing parking lot already has some gravel but additional gravel will be necessary. The Commission has the option to include improvements as part of the base bid, bid as an alternate to the base bid, or not pave the lot at this time. Concrete curb is not included in the estimate and not necessary at this time. The estimate to pave the parking lot is $50,446.19. This improvement is not included in the current Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). There is an existing ball field that is used by the Andover Baseball Association for younger age players. The field is not irrigated and generally is used Monday through Thursday during the spring summer season. BUDGETIMPACT This proposed improvement to pave the parking lot is not included in the current CIP and if constructed would be funded by Park Dedication Funds. ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to consider paving the existing parking lot at Lund's North Park as requested by the City Council. Respectfully submitted, Todd J.
