SURJECF: Mendota Heights Recreation Area (Riley Site) -
Revised Site Plan and Cost Estimate
b IL-JJL-V4G�
Barton-Aschman has revised the Tandem Developrnent Corporation concept for
the Etondota Heights Recreation Area (Riley site) based upon comments
received on January 23, 1988, from the Citizens Advisory Group. ibis
memorandum describes the concept revisions and factors pertaining to
he
cost esthiote.
As tion ea has been
requested, the development program for the recreaar
reduced to include two softball fields, a baseball field, and two soccer
fields. Each of the five fields include lighting and irrigation. The
soft]),ill fields have been designed for 275-foot outfields with fence
enclosure. `Ihe baseball field has 325-foot lines to the outfield with a
center field dimension of 345 feet. Fencing and enclosed dugouts have been
Provided as a part of this facility. Sodding has been limited to the
softlall and baseball infields while all outfields and the soccer facilities
would be seeded.
The athletic field comfort building encloses 2,000 square feet to provide
information, concession, rest room and storage facilities. A small
"warming house," 12-feet by 20-feet, has been provided near the free skating
area.
F'arl:iira has been reduced to 120 hard surface spaces with curb and gutter.
In addition, 80 overflow spaces are provided on an adjacent grassed surface
and the entrance road. Parking capacity was based upon the following. A
peal: operating event may involve the two softball fields and single baseball
field operating at once. Based on this assumption, up to 24 players may be
involved on each of the three fields. Parking for the players would be
provided on a basis of one occupant per car or 72 parking spaces. In
addition, we have provided for approximately 190 spectators with an
oonrf>iut-to-vehicle ratio of 1.5:1. Any additional parking requirements
such as those posed during a weekend softball tournament or similar multi -
game event would have to be accommodated on adjacent streets.

Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc.
other facilities provided by the concept include eight -foot bituminous
trails for comnmity access to the recreation area, a small picnic shelter,
a small play structure apparatus, moderate landscaping/signage and portable
bleachers*
abe concept was revised to cluster the two softball fields, basebll field
and parking area in a cloverleaf layout. Soccer fields would be located
immediately west of this cloverleaf. Where possible, lighting was
accommodated on multiple fixture shared -use poles, thereby minimizing
overall lighting costs.
The revised concept provides the most efficient layout possible given the
site's rigid design constraints. These constraints include I-494 right-of-
way, abutting property edges, the combination pipeline/power line easement,
site topography, site vegetation and proposed adjacent roadway. Minor
revisions were made to the proposed adjacent roadway alignment to
acccmmcdate the baseball field within the cloverleaf cluster.
The attached table summarizes anticipated costs on a line -item by line -item
basis with a 10 percent contingency. In addition, a consultant fee of
approximately eight percent is required to provide design, engineering and
periodic construction observation. This approach assumes that resident
construction observation will be conducted by the City of Mendota }{eights

pear Kevin:
This letter summarizes a variety of items in refererJce to the upcomilxl park
bond issue.
T}{ 110/T71 149 Trail Crossing
We have conducted a cursory analysis of pedestrian bridge or tunnel
crossirrls of '111 149 and 'Ii{ 110. Four alternatives were reviewed which
include a diagomil bridge crossing at the trunk highways intersection, a
diag(Alat Unmel at the trunk highway's intersection, individual bridge
crosC;h is at `ltl 149 and fill 110, and individual tunnel crossings at 111 149
and '111 lio. 'lbe following ecmmients are offered on these alternatives.
A. A diaggnalt�ridge crossing the trunk highways intersection would most
likely be prohibited due to the visibility problems which the bridge's
structure would cause for the intersection's traffic signals. Amore
in-depth analysis would be appropriate to determine oncoming traffic
visibility of the traffic signals and any inherent safety problems.
11nDur should be consulted to solicit their views on this concept.
B. Construction of a diagonal tunnel underneath the trunk highways
intersection would be difficult, at best. A variety of utilities
currently exist beneath the intersection which would pose constraints
for the tunnel. These obstacles include traffic signal footings,
electrical cocxluit, traffic signal wiring, the drainage structure for
the creek and other public or private utilities. This concept is not
viable based upon these factors.

C. 'ihis alternative involves providing a bridge providing east -west ver III
149 at the intersection's south legr
ge
oriented nortJrsoutlr over 111 110, west of tine intersection. Cost range
for the 111 149 bridge would be $85,000 to $90,000 based "poll an a -foot -
wide concrete or steel prefabricated structure. '111e 111 110 bridge
would cost between $145,000 to $155,000, again based upon 8-fo0t-wide
prelabric:ated steel or concrete structure.
U. Ilse tunnel altennative assumes providing a 10-foot-high by 10400t-wide
advert running east -west below 111 149 and north -south under both lanes
of III llo. 'Itne '111 149 twuiel would be approximately 80 linear feet and

These

roadway repair or traffic diversions necessary for construction.
Ihe aixrve costs do not include design and engineering wlllch would be
approxincitely eight percent. Additional analysis should be contpleted to
determine mre exact costs and engineering feasibility.
Drochure Modifications
As we discvnssed, it would be most prudent for the City of Mendota lielylits revise the
or
one of lt's citizen volunteers to provide text, as necessary, to
previou,ly prelkired bond' issue brochure. Barton-Asclun<an can provide a
yr,ali�ic layout of tine brodwre with type revisions anti graphic revisions for
at,llAll nlaymvitely $750. 'lilts amownt includes typeset charges ccmm�ensurate with
the city's text revisions, a graphic revision for the alliletic cxmVlex mid
coonihvatlon with tine print house. 'Ihe cost for brochure printing will be
billed directly to the City of Mendota sleights.
Illustrative Graphics
il<arton-A,chman can assist the City of Mendota sleights in preparing
additional panel graphics which could be used at public meetings or
nieiyldxnhood sessions. one rendered graphic would be prepared illustrating
the recreation area concept and a second panel illustratjnxj a typical
Ile i(Ihix)nhaxl mxl tkark int)rovement. Cost for these two colored remlered
yratditc, would be approximately $500o
Engineering
and construction observation Fees
Engineering and construction observation fees for detail design are
typically based upon a percent of the total construction cost. Inn general,
use con,ultirg fee, as a percent of construction, decreases as tine project's
construction cost increases. For exangple, a $700,000 constniction value
would have a design fee of 8 percent, a $1 million job would have a 7.5
