Approved Concept Plan 2. Site Plan with Proposed Location of Two Additional Drinking Fountains RECOMMENDATION: ~~ Provide direction on whether two additional drinking fountains should be added to the Dog Park FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Approved Contract Amount Estimated Change Orders $ $ Total $ $ $ 448,774 10,956 459,730 493,651 33,921 Project Budget Remaining Contingency Cost Estimate of Drinking Fountains $ 14,500 There are sufficient funds within the construction contingency to cover this cost. DESCRIPTION: In early 2006 the Parks and Community Services Commission and City Council reviewed the conceptual plan for the Dougherty Hills Park Dog Park (Attachment 1). The plan included separate runs for large and small dogs and other site amenities such as parking, benches, agility course, public art and landscaping. Staff is seeking input from the City Council on whether or not to install two additional drinking fountains at the park. Although the dog park has not yet opened to the public, the City has already received comments from two residents who have voiced a concern over the current location of the drinking fountain. According to the residents the drinking fountain at the entrance to the dog park is not ideal. It should be located within the fenced areas so it is easily accessible to the dogs without the pet owners needing to leash their dogs and take them out of the fenced area to access the drinking fountain. As shown in the approved conceptual plan, it was originally contemplated to have a drinking fountain ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COPY TO: Page 1 0[2 ITEM NO. 7,1 G:\COUNCIL\Agenda Statements\2007\2-6 Dog Park Drinking Fountains.doc located at the entrance to the dog park. The advantage of this location is that it is surrounded by concrete and that the excess water would not cause over saturation of nearby turf and soil (an occurrence commonly observed at other dog parks). Attachment #2 shows the proposed locations of the new drinking fountains within each area. Construction has recently been completed and the three month maintenance period has commenced. If approved, the drinking fountains would be installed within the next three months prior to opening for the public. The estimated cost to install two additional drinking fountains is $14,500. There are sufficient funds remaining in the project contingency. At the January 22nd Commission meeting, the Parks and Community Services Commission recommended that the City Council approve the installation of the two drinking fountains. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council provide direction on whether two additional drinking fountains should be added to the bog Park. ~ :\:\: ~ ~ ~ u ~ ~ ~ \ \ d ~ r'> cr iil iii 4 ~~O \\.'.ro "ltj, ~ Ii. ,,~\\- <I'd..
