Commissioner Peterson said he could not support moving forward with the project as it felt incomplete. Commissioner Bye felt the stairs would be a fitness draw and could be part of a series of fitness stations that may be added in the future. Vice Chair Chirhart thought the structure did not fit the purpose of a lookout because there were a limited number of people that could be at the top at a time, but may be useful if it were part of a group of fitness stations. Parks Commission Minutes May 20, 2019 Page 2 of 3 Commissioner Thoreson felt the structure was unique and would be a draw for people to visit the area, but he felt it was quite expensive and wanted to hear from the Commissioners what other ideas they had for that site with those funds. Chair Weyer reported that he showed the pictures to people, and everybody thought it was a neat idea. He also agreed it was a lot of money for what it was. He suggested sending the idea to the City Council for their feedback. Chair Weyer, seconded by Commission Thoreson, moved to send the idea to the City Council to get their opinion.

Regardless of options, water services will need to be installed at both parks if there is to be drinking fountains. A contractor will install a 1" copper pipe and curb stop valves to allow for winterization from the water main to the right of way at Swager Park and beyond the asphalt trail at Oak Park Crossing Park. Asphalt and site restoration is included in the quote to install water services. City staff would complete the project by installing plastic potable water pipe from the copper stubs to the drinking fountain locations. Since the drinking fountains need to be winterized, there is no need to bury the water pipe to the standard 7.5 -S feet depth, therefore staff can trench the pipe just below grade. There are two safe options to achieve the goal of installing drinking fountains. The options are as follows: Alternative 1 City staff will extend the water pipe to the drinking fountain locations, install concrete pads and purchase 440SM (surface mount) fountains with pet drinking bowls attached from a local vendor. The cost to complete this project is estimated to be: Unit Materials and Supplies Price Qty Sub Total Water Service @ Swager w/Valves $11,430.15 Water Service @ OPCP w/Valves $9,005.80 Poly pipe(Potable) $0.47 500.00 $235.00 Pipe compression Fittings $20.00 4.00 $80.00 440SM Drinking Fountain $3,732.50 2.00 $7,465.00 Vibratory Plow Rental $285.00 2.00 $570.00 Concrete/Trailer rental $275.00 1.00 $275.00 Estimated Total $29,060.95 Alternative 2 City staff will extend the water pipe to the drinking fountain locations, install concrete pads and a post or pipe at the fountain site.The water service will junction to ridged galvanized iron pipe and be affixed to the posts and a drinking fountain head and spigot will be installed to the pipe. See the attached photo of a drinking fountain in Bayport;this option would look similar and be considerably less expensive than the original quote.The cost to install water spigots in this manner is estimated to be: Unit Materials and Supplies Price Qty Sub Total Water Service @ Swager w/Valves $11,430.15 Water Service @ OPCP w/Valves $9,005.80 Poly pipe(Potable) $0.47 500.00 $235.00 Galvanized Pipe $8.39 1.00 $8.39 Pipe compression Fittings $20.00 4.00 $80.00 Drinking Fountain Head $55.00 2.00 $110.00 Vibratory Plow Rental $285.00 2.00 $570.00 Concrete/Trailer rental $275.00 1.00 $275.00 Estimated Total $21,714.34 2 Andrew Kegley From: Steve St. Claire <steve.st.claire@millerexc.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2019 8:16 AM To: Andrew Kegley Cc: office@millerexc.com Subject: Drininkg Fountain Stub In Andy, Dringing Fountain Stub In Pricing SWAGER PARK Traffic Control -Street Remove Pavement & Curb Connect to Watermain 1" Copper Main to Curbstop 1" Curbstop w/ Blow Off&Tail to Grade Street Restoration—Sand, Aggregate Base, Curb Patch & Bituminous Paving Seeding ESTIMATED TOTAL$ 11,430.15 OAK PARK CROSSING Traffic Control -Trail Remove Trail Pavement Connect to Watermain 1" Copper Main to Curbstop 1" Curbstop w/ Blow Off&Tail to Grade Bike Trail Paving Restoration—Aggregate base & bituminous paving Seeding ESTIMATED TOTAL$ 9,005.80 Steve St. Claire President I Miller Excavating, Inc. 3741 Stagecoach Trail North I Stillwater, MN 55082 651.439.1637 Office 1651.269.8176 Mobile 651.351.7210 Fax steve.st.claire@millerexc.com I Email i I 1 The content of this email is the confidential property of Miller Excavating,Inc.and should not be copied,modified,retransmitted,or used for any purpose except with Miller Excavating,Inc's written authorization.if you are not the intended recipient,please delete all copies and notify us immediately. 2 St.Croix Recreation Fun Playgrounds INC. �J.a 1826 Tower Dr W Stillwater, MN 55082 US 1 651 4301 247 hannah@stcroixrec.com RECREATION funPlaIgrounds rom ESTIMATE ESTIMATE# 3709 DATE 06/10/2019 ADDRESS SHIP TO City of Oak Park Heights Oak Park Heights City Hall Accounts Payable Attn:Andy 14168 Oak Park Blvd 14168 Oak Park Blvd North Oak Park Heights,MN 55082 Oak Park Heights,MN 55082 651.775.5759 PLEASE DETACH TOP PORTION AND RETURN WITH YOUR PAYMENT. ------ ---------- ----- ----_..........------. ----............--- --...........---------- ------------------. ..._..---------------------- -----.....................

Two other parties gave notice that they were not interested in the work do to other commitments, and a third local contractor has met staff on both sites to better understand the scope of the project, but has not yet submitted a quote. His work load is extensive and schedule is tight due to the wet spring. Miller Excavating proposes the following: Install a drinking fountain at Swager: $19,970.20 Install a drinking fountain at Oak Park Crossing Park: Total to install both _ $49,876.65 Note: There is a sixty (60) day lead time on the drinking fountains from the manufacturer. Chuck bonkers of Xcel Energy did indicate that installing a water line as shown on the attached map should not be a problem as there is ample land cover over the cap in the proposed area. If the City Council approves the project, The City would need to secure an easement for the water line from Barbatsis Property LLC—this is Phil's Terra Hideaway, before work could begin. Installing the drinking fountain at Swager does not have this challenge; after Council approval, the contractor could start upon a notice to proceed from the City. THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK
