RE • ' Wilson Park Trail Bridge E mment Only
RECOMMENDATION
A resolution awarding Bid #08-59 and approval of a contract with Thompson Culvert in
the amount of $26,489.40, with a 7.5% project contingency of $1,986.70 for a total
project cost of $28,476.10 for the purchase of a 50' long x 6' wide pedestrian bridge for
Wilson Park Trail,
BACKGROUND
Wilson Park contains 22.75 acres and is located at 675 North Park Avenue. The park is
situated in the southwest quadrant of town west of College Avenue (U.S. Highway 71B)
and south of North Street. The park is one of the citizen's oldest and most popular park in
the center of our City serving all residents.
On June 5, 2006, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board approved funding in the
amount of $69,000 from the Southwest Park District to fund an additional portion of trail
and a pedestrian bridge on the east side of the park along Park Avenue. The current trail
utilizes the sidewalk as the trail on this portion. With the immediate curve and hill, this
creates a potential unsafe area for trail users. The trail improvements will begin on the
north side of the swimming pool entry on Park Avenue. The trail will require a pedestrian
bridge and will continue along the east side of the softball field and connect back to the
existing trail near the Castle area. The bridge specifications requested the same type and
style of bridges that have recently been installed on the Scull Creek Trail.
The construction of the trail improvements is tentatively scheduled for 2009 pending City
Council approval and will be part of the total trail renovation and lighting project.
Purchase and installation of the pedestrian bridge is necessary in 2008 in order to spend
funds from the Park Land Dediciation southwest quadrant as required by the ordinance.
DISCUSSION
The project was advertised on July 11, and bids were opened on August 1,2008. Five
vendors including Thompson Culvert; Wheeler Lumber, LLC; Contech Bridge Solutions;
Crane Materials International and Ohio Bridge Corporation submitted bids. Thompson
Culvert was the low bidder in the amount of $26,489.40. If approved, the bridge should
be ready for delivery to the City by November 2008.

Agenda Item Number
BUDGET IMPACT
This project is funded with Park Land Dedication Funds from the Southwest Park
District. Total project cost including a 7.50 % contingency is $28,476.10. The annual
maintenance cost for the bridge is anticipated to negligible.

4. Trail Naming Proposal: Matt Mihalevich, Trail Coordinator
The following names of trails were recommended for approval of PFtAB by the
Sidewalk and Trails Committee on April, 12, 2006 The trail names were
submitted at the May 1st meeting and tabled according to the Naming of Facilities
Policy to allow for public input until the June meeting.
St. Paul Trail - Currently constructed between Morningside and Armstrong,
south of Pump Station Road. This trail will connect to Combs Park. The trail is
constructed on the abandoned St. Paul Railroad.
Town Branch Creek Trail — Under construction between Beechwood and
Razorback. The trail will continue to follow Town Branch Creek east to the
White River.
Tsaga-Gi_Traik - Soon to be under construction from Hill Ave. west to the
railroad line. This trail will run parallel with Sixth Street to the south
and closely follow the historic Trail of Tears of the Cherokee Tribe.
Clabber_Creek Trait - This future trail will be located north of Mt.
Comfort Road. The trail will follow Clabber Creek from the confluence
with Hamstring Creek east to Scull Creek Trail.
Scull Creek Trail - This future trail will roughly run parallel with
Gregg Street. This trail will follow Scull Creek from the confluence
with Mud Creek south to Wilson Park where it will meet Frisco Trail.
Owl Creek Trad - This future trail to be Located south of Hwy 16 West
(Wedington) This trail will follow Owl Creek from Double Springs Road
east to Rupple Road, near the Boys and Girls Club.
PFtAB Motion: Davidson moved to approve the trail names as listed and Bitler
seconded the motion and it carried 4-0-0
S. Wilson Park Bridge \Trail Proposal: Matt Mihalevich & Connie Edmonston
Currently there is $22,000 in the Capital Improvement budget to improve the
trail on the Park Street side of Wilson Park. The current trail utilizes the sidewalk
as the trail on this portion. With the immediate curve and hill, this creates a
potential unsafe area for trail users. This improvement would begin on the north
side of the swimming pool entry off of Park Street. The trail would need a bridge
and would continue on the outside of the softball field and would connect back to
the Castle area The University of Arkansas engineering class has used this as a
class project to assist with this project. The bridge and bridge abutments and
sub -structure are estimated to cost $37,000. Total cost of this project is
estimated at $90,823. (See attached estimate and pictures.)
June 5, 2006/ 4
Staff Recommendation: Park Staff recommends approving $69,000 from the
Park Land Dedication Fund to assist with the Wilson Park Bridge and Trail
Improvement project.
Colwell suggested installing an exercise station along some area of the trail near
the pool.
Edmonston wants to see how the Gulley Park exercise station is utilized before
installing one in another park.
Colwell asked if the FEMA guidelines will be followed for the bridge and trail
construction.
Mihalevich said those guidelines would be followed.
Davidson asked if there are any other funds in the Capital Budget for Wilson
Park.
Edmonston said there is not and the $22,000 designated is a carry-over.
Bider asked how much money is in the Southwest Quadrant Park Fund.
Edmonston said $310,000 is unencumbered. Other projects for this year are
Wilson Park basketball court resurfacing, Finger Park upgrade, Dale Clark Park
signage and there is funding for Legacy Park. This is a lot, but the safety factors
in several of the parks are critical and citizens are asking for the improvements
PRAB Motion: Bitler moved to approve the allocation of an additional $69,000
from the Southwest Quadrant Park Fund as recommended by Staff for the
building of the Wilson Park Trail and Bridge. Burke seconded the motion and it
carried 4-0-0
