REQUEST: The Parks and Recreation Department wishes to inform the City Commission
about the Trotwood Improvement Project.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this item is to inform the City Commission regarding the
Trotwood Construction Project.
CONSIDERATIONS:
• On September 8, 2008, the City Commission approved the award of a contract to BDG
Construction Services, LLC for construction of a Splash Playground, Pavilion, Sidewalk,
and Restroom Renovations at Trotwood Park.
• Construction has begun on the project.
• The restrooms and the area around them are fenced as the construction area.
• 2 handicap accessible restrooms are located next to the handball courts for public usage
and will be cleaned 3 times per week.
• Trotwood Park is available for public usage (both pavilions, both playgrounds, tennis
courts, basketball courts, handball courts, batting cages, all of the ball fields, and all
parking areas.)
• Signage is located around the construction area stating that the project and the
improvements are funded by a FRDAP Grant and Parks Impact Fees.
• We have and will notify all pavilion rentals of the construction, have posted notices on
the site, and also on the city website.
• Project completion is still anticipated by April 1, 2009, to meet the matching FRDAP
Grant requirements.
FUNDING:
Construction plus contingency and CPH Contract are fully funded with the revision of the
budget. Should the Parks Impact Fee revenue not materialize as conservatively budgeted, the
General Fund would make a short term loan to the Trotwood Improvement Capital Project Fund
to be paid pack when revenue is realized.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
N/A Informational Only.
