Ware, Leisure Services Manager SUBJECT: Comiskey Park— Phase 1 Redevelopment Project: Painting of Basketball Court and Splash Pad Schedule Change DATE: April 27, 2023 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this memo is to share information related to the Comiskey Park— Phase 1 Redevelopment Project, specifically the painting of the basketball court and splash pad that causes a schedule change. DISCUSSION Construction has been continuing on the Comiskey Park Phase 1 project. Concrete is being poured, utilities are being installed, the playground and splash pad equipment has arrived and more. The architectural and engineering team of Saiki Design Inc. and Origin Design, in coordination with the City of Dubuque project team and the contractor, Portzen Construction Inc. recommended material changes for the project's splash pad and basketball court surfacing. A more functional, playful, and � longer-lasting paint product called StreetBond was discovered - __ :. �� : by the team after the bid documents were issued. � � ` ,� ��F � ' �'Y� ,� �, �g�7�_1'��E r 4fi ^„'3•�'.€ � 2` '- �`�.xt The splash pad was designed and bid with three colors of � �� ;, inte ral-colored concrete that the s lash ad amenities would '� �� '�' J P p ,�s be installed on. This material originally was selected for the � c- _ �� }�� lon evit of the installation. Unfortunatel the colors available Ff � '��a � J Y Y, .��, � were mostly earth-tones and very muted colors. The photo on �� ;:F.�:�� ` the right shows the blue (top) and green (middle) integrated , ; color concrete which would have been used to mimic colors of the poured in place surfacing under the playground. The lower - `� � ., block shown is the regular concrete color. The integrated � colored concrete had a higher price which was included in the original bid. The underwhelming color selections led the team to look at the option of painting vs. integrated-color concrete as shown above. Changing from integrated concrete to another solution would create savings to the project or allow another option to the implemented. The basketball court was designed and � bid with 100% acrylic pavement marking , paint. This material was selected for +� ' SW�94, Sw�:::,, - customizable bri ht and la ful color . ""`yTurQu� �y��"' V_ , 9 , p Y options. The palette on the right shows S�e9�`�',� `. the paint colors chosen for the design of ��°,�°` - - - the basketball court. As one can see ho�y�� these colors are colors that will showcase � the one of kind design of the basketball �:�;� . ��r: �,: �. court. During the construction phase, � � � speaking with the installer they shared the � ' acrylic paint would need upkeep in 2-3 � years' time. There is a known cost to � painting the basketball court because the painting of the basketball court was an accepted bid alternative of the Comiskey project. The cost of painting the court with acrylic paint is $28,750. Upgrading this installation to Streetbond vs. acrylic pavement allows for the same benefits of paint color and should last roughly 10-15 years according to the installer. This Streetbond is made for use on streets, parking lots, and high traffic areas. It has been used in applications throughout the country for basketball courts and other recreational settings. The selection of the Streetbond product for the basketball court led the team to consider it for the splash pad as an alternate to the underwhelming integrated-color concrete. Saiki Design worked with the team to come up with a painting design for the splash pad that could incorporate the color palette of the basketball court using Steetbond. Then Portzen Construction looked at the change order pricing of deleting the integrated color concrete for the splash pad, changing the splash pad to Streetbond painting, and changing acrylic paint to Streetbond on the basketball court for longer life. The total of the change order for is a $7,612 add. See chart below. Funding has been identified for this change order. The change order cost to this project pales in comparison to the repainting that would be needed every 2-3 years on the basketball court vs 10-15 years at the current cost of$28,750 per time. Additionally, there is no comparison between the muted colors of integrated concrete coloring pictured on page one to the colors shown above. 2 a�iginal eid Updated Bid wf St�ee�band It2r71 CdSt It2r71 COSt CoatBasketball Court $28,754.44 Streetbond-Material $22,OOD.OD Basketball Court Line Striping $ 5,644.44 Streetbond-Labar $25,444.44 Parking Lot Striping $ 3,644.44 Media Blast Splash Pad Only $ 5,OOD.OD Calored Concrete�lntegrel Colar} $ 8,334.44 $45,684.44 $52,444.44 Original Bid $A.S,�SD.�D Updated Bid $52,OOD.OD aifference $ 6,92D.aD Profit $ 692.OD Total Add $ 7,612.44 The timing of the Comiskey Park project was bid with substantial completion of May 11 and final completion of May 26, 2023. The timing of the use of the Streetbond product is lengthened as the concrete must cure for 28 days prior to the installation of the paint on the concrete surfaces. This means that the substantial completion date changes to June 12 with the final completion date of June 27, 2023. This change of date will be disappointing to many however this is offset with the longer life of the paint on the surFace going from 2-3 years to 10-15 years between painting that will lead to operating cost reductions. The other benefit of this change is a new playful, artistic design for the splash pad in a space designed primarily for children. The bubble design for both the basketball court and the splash pad is shown on the next page. The splash pad design encourages movement throughout the splash pad encouraging exercise and fun play. This change order creates a more cohesive, playful, and longer-lasting installation. At our monthly meeting, we reviewed this information, and you approved the schedule change and requested I share this information in memo form and place it on the upcoming city council agenda. ACTION REQUESTED This information is provided for documentation of your approval of the schedule change based upon the change of paint product for the basketball court and splash pad. cc: Jenny Larson, Director of Finance & Budget Jared Charland, Project and Facilities Manager 3 Stephen Fehsal, Parks Division Manager Steve Sampson Brown, Project Manager � � � . i �� _ _ � �-., . � i � � r, I �� i�;,,; ��. . ` - �- J �� I��I , � � � �fi I z I i.� -�� f' 1 ��V I i � �'�� , � i � ,�'� � - , �� w w . ��: � r � ,� ., � . � �� ` ` ' !-T � � F R\�. rv��' N y� � ` . i,'.,, : ��2:: �d �► � w � �` ; r� r � � �� •• �;• ♦ �'�� i . +� �� ,. �` ♦ + �� •`r �.o� r� '' I i� i i f � � 'y, � � o - ` � '� . � - - - - �,�1� i �. � � � � �,, �`.,��Q,; ♦ �-� � ,��_, , � _ � � - - - _ ,,� _ �-;; ;�, _ . - - - � _ ` � - + - r � - - - �'_ � w - - - - � ♦ - - - +- h ♦ - - - - I - - - _ x M�� - F- _ I_. � _ _ _ _ _ _� N I F —I�— � ` � - - - - -� w � �� - ♦ I� - - -� r' � � - - _� � � - - e `a /! . , e� .3 !�� `:li��g�� BASKETBALL COURT, PLAY AREA & SPLASH PAD ENLARGEMENT SCALE:1116"=1'-0"(AT FULL SIZE SHEET 22X34) �k�.
