RESOLUTION APPROVING REVISIONS AND REALLOCATION OF FUNDS TO THE
CARR PARK AGILITY COURSE PROJECT
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, in October of 2021, City Council approved the placement of agility course
equipment in Carr Park, 1704 Meadowlane Avenue. There is $342,260 available to complete the
agility course project which includes engineering, equipment, poured-in-place safety surfacing,
and sidewalk connections; and,
WHEREAS, another project for Carr Park is the addition of a shelter-restroom structure
with funding being allocated in the FY 2022-23 (Engineering and Design $45,000) and FY 2023-
24 (Construction $350,000) Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). Current available funding for this
project is $393,208. Between these two projects, available funding is $735,468; and,
WHEREAS, with two projects in the same park, staff contracted with Snyder and
Associates,Ankeny,Iowa,to develop a site plan and cost opinion which included the agility course
and the shelter/restroom. The combined total cost estimate for both projects is $1,114,069. Total
available funding for both projects is $735,468, leaving a shortfall of$378,601; and,
WHEREAS, since there is insufficient funding to do both projects in their entirety, staff
proposed to move forward with the Agility Course, Safety Surfacing, Concrete Border, and
Sidewalk Connections, and a shelter with concrete pad. This would bring the total estimated cost
of the revised project to $621,005. The restroom would not be constructed at this time but could
be programmed into a future CIP.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the construction of the Agility Course, safety surfacing, concrete border, sidewalk
connections, and shelter and reallocate funds from the Carr Park Shelter/Restroom Project to the
shortfall to complete the project is hereby approved.
