The ranking were <br />generally based on the effort that would be required to restore the hydrology, plant composition, <br />structure, and function for the wetland community type. Strong considerations were also given <br />to the public benefit of the improvement. Wetland basins that are close to trails offer viewing <br />opportunities or provide for other public recreation typically received higher rankings. Other <br />considerations included existing public use in each park and whether the improvements would be <br />considered beneficial to the users of the park. <br />Costs provided for each improvement are estimates that are based on the combining several <br />projects under one construction contract to limit the cost of mobilization by a contractor. In most <br />cases additional topographic survey and analysis needs to be completed to provide a more <br />accurate cost estimate. The cost estimate should provide a good guide for comparing <br />improvements and help making the decision between projects. <br />City of Roseville 63 <br />Parks Natural Resource Management <br />
