Comments
Sherwood Park Playground Upgrade
3. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board approved at its 17 September 2014 business meeting, (resolution number HB/2014/185), the allocation of $150,000 from the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board (SLIPS and discretionary) capital funds for the delivery of the Sherwood Reserve playground upgrade project. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board received funding from the Coastguard from the operation of the Browns Bay market. The local board allocated $26,000 of the funding to the Sherwood Reserve playground upgrade. A final concept design was approved by the local board on the 15 April 2015, (resolution number HB/2015/40), and a further $83,508 was allocated from the SLIPS budget (2014/2015).
4. The Sherwood Reserve Concept Plan was workshopped with the Facilities and Reserves Committee on 21 November 2014. Information was provided to enable a discussion on this project and to confirm the concept plan and next steps. Patrick Corfe Landscape was appointed by the local board and was funded $10,000 from the 2013/2014 “Local Discretionary Fund” to prepare a landscape concept plan for the Sherwood Reserve.
Update
5. The Sherwood Reserve Working Party agreed to fund stages one and two (which are identified below) and stage three would be funded once the local board LDI capital fund was confirmed. The stages for the Sherwood Park Playground upgrade project include:
· Stage 1 – earthworks, drainage, paths, existing play equipment locations, furniture
· Stage 2 – Floor as Lava feature
· Stage 3 – Tower feature.
6. This report seeks additional funding of $16,996.81 to complete stages one and two of the Sherwood Park playground upgrade project.
7. Parks identified a number of reasons as to why the approved the budget was not sufficient to complete stages one and two. The reasons are:
· Insufficient details and specifications resulted in contract variations for the earthworks portion
· Insufficient detail and specification resulted in the need to supervise play element construction by qualified playground inspector at additional cost
· Engineers estimate was inadequate at $ 252,178.00
· Current estimate of $ 276,504.81 (excluding renewals of $50,680 portion) is now proposed.
8. Stage three includes a tower feature. Funding has not been allocated to this feature to date. Funding of $79,000 is required to install the tower feature following completion of the earthworks in stages one and two. It is recommended that the local board install the tower feature at this time to complete the Sherwood Reserve playground upgrade project and save potential increased funding if left until a later date. The total project costs for the tower feature (stage three) include:
· Rope climbing tower, including installation - $70,000.00
· Earthworks done as part of stage one:
o Safety surface - $7,000.00
o Path extension 10m - $2,000.00
· Estimated total - $79,000.00
Funding Update
9. It is proposed to fund the completion of stages one and two ($16,884.19) from the local board’s unallocated SLIPS budget of 2015/2016. Funding is required from the local board’s LDI capex fund to fund the tower feature (stage three) $62,115.81. The allocation of $62,115.81 for the tower feature from the LDI Capital budget of $585,717 would leave a balance of $523,601.19 for the local board to allocate.
