Opinion of Construction Value . SrI -: ; Purpose: Methodology: City of Winter Sprines Torcaso Park Expansion Master Plan Study Draft submittal 15 Feb 01 Executive Summary This study was commissioned by the city of Winter Springs to investigate expanding the site to provide additional amenities. The site's expansion would take place to the north, on to the Police department property and requires mitigation of approximately ,82 acres of low quality wetlands. Although there is considerably more land available on this Police Department site it was determined by a previous wetland mitigation study that impacting these wetlands beyond wetland no. 4 in the southeast corner of the site would be impractical from both an environmental and financial perspective. This study was undertaken by a professional design team consisting of a registered architect with the finn of Starmer Ranaldi Planning and Architecture Inc (sri) as well as consultation with an environmentalist from Environmental Services Inc. (ESI), and Mr. Pula, director of parks and recreational services for the City. This team visited to the site and came up with a list of possible amenities to be provided on the site. The list of possible amenities that were discussed, are as follows: 1. multi-purpose sport field for soccer, football, and general team play 2. ball fields for baseball or soft ball 3. a splash pool (zero depth pool on a concrete slab with various play features such as umbrella fountain, arch fountain, interactive foot fountain, riding spray toys, etc) 4. a competitive pool (a "L" shaped pool with one leg being a 25 yd, 6 lane competitive swim pool and the other leg being a shallower training, teaching, general swimming area) 5. a multi-purpose pool combining the 25yd, 6 lane competitive pool area with a break out area at mid length of the 25 yd pool which fans out to a zero depth pool and includes pay features similar to the splash pool noted above) 6. off street parking 7. basket ball courts 8. tennis courts Summary: Conclusion: The resulting submittal herein contains both the traditional scope validation report showing each of the identified improvement items, their associate opinion of construction value, and whether they conform to "immediate needs" or not, as well as a "modernization vs demolition" analysis. The optional concept design solutions, shown herein range in price from $ 485,000 to $ 1,010,180, and from a few amenities to several amenities. The concepts "a" and "b" were quickly abandoned because the parking area and driveway through the site creates an unnecessary vehicular / pedestrian conflict. Concepts "c", "d", and "e" began to crowd the site and came with a price tag that was felt to be too excessive for the project. The resulting recommendation of concept "f' was a combination of balancing the general needs of the surrounding community with a reasonable project budget, and providing a significant improvement to the park without extensive long tenn operation and maintenance costs. .
