SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - March 23, 2006
ITEM: 14.E.2. Consider a resolution determining that "design -build contract" is the
delivery method, which provides the best value for the City for the
construction of a skate park to be located at Clay Madsen Park as part of
the Greater Lake Creek Park Project.
Department: Parks and Recreation
Staff Person: Rick Atkins, Director
Justification:
The planned skatepark is one of the major components of the Greater Lake Creek Park
Improvement Project. Staff has determined that with the limited budget and the highly
specialized nature of this improvement that Design -Build project would provide the "best value".
An entity must determine this "best value" prior to using an Alternate Delivery Method.
Funding: $930,000.00 (OVERALL PROJECT)
Cost: $0
Source of funds: G.O. Bond Project & Grants (TPWD & LCRA)
Outside Resources: N/A
Background Information:
The Greater Lake Creek Park Project involves three existing park properties and several parcels of
land that the City already has or will acquire through the platting process of new neighborhoods.
Clay Madsen Park, Greenlawn Park, and Lake Creek Park will all receive improvements in the form
of new development and/or renovations. These three parks will also be connected with a hike &
bike trail. Also included in this project will be the City's first skate park, dog park, and inline
hockey facility. This project is partially funded by a Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept. (TPWD) Grant
and a Grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA).
Public Comment:
In addition to a focus group that was formed to specifically address end-user concerns, the Parks
and Recreation department has received several petitions and numerous requests over the past
three years for a skate park. Also, several public hearings associated with the Grant applications
were held.
