ME TO: Parks and Recreation Committee Members FROM: Kim Stephan SUBJECT: Sand Volley Ball Court DATE: July 2, 2010 Update from Mr. Paul Palzer I believe the 50 foot distance from the private property with the ball being in play in that direction would be a minimum to reduce complaints. Maybe a questionnaire to the residents in this area would be a good idea? The parking area upon review of city ordinance needs to have a durable dust free surface, but possible could be a "green" surface if the committee would like to explore this option. The design for the drainage system has not been completed so we can have discussions with the designer about how best to drain these areas. Lighting the parking area would depend upon what power is available and extend of the lighting. Let me know if you need further assistance. Additional Estimate reported by Chairperson Branch: I talked to Mr. Lance Noren about doing the work and what a rough cost estimate might look like. He was blown away by the amount of sand that is needed and the precision of laying out the courts as shown in the diagram we had from our last committee meeting. We made the assumption that all of the waste dirt would have to carried away and disposed of. The volume of sand/ dirt is about 260 Cu. Yd. If the supplier could deliver 12 yd per truck (that may be high) it would require 22 truck loads of sand and the same number of trucks to haul away the dirt. Mr. Noren called his supplier and got an estimate of $200 / truck. Here is the estimate. Sand supplied $4,400 Dirt removed $4,400 Drain title $500 Landscape cloth $500 Rock $1000 Sub total: $10,800 then I added a 10% overhead and profit factor (which is low) and $1700 for equipment (I took this number out of the handout material) for a grand total of $14,580 for each court. SO if we wanted two courts we would be looking a $30,000 job. Mr. Palzer's Input: I'm not sure of the fabric that Lance quoted, but the fabric I have used in the past is $.12 -.15 per square foot based upon buying a roll. We would want at least 4 -6 inches of pea rock under the sand for drainage and the tile may have to run out to the ditch for proper elevation fall. There maybe a possibility of tying the drain tile into the new drainage system for the irrigation system which has yet to be designed. Depending upon the wetness of the soils unearthed, more drain tile may be required. The old road would have to be removed also
