SUBJECT:
Phillips Park Waterfall Monument Repairs

PURPOSE:
To restore, repair, and improve the monument and pool liner of the Phillips Park Waterfall.

BACKGROUND:
The Phillip's Park Waterfall is located south of the intersection of S Smith Blvd & Wyeth Dr. The waterfall was originally built back in 1959 and over the course of the years the stone, brick, and concrete surrounding the monument have deteriorated and require repairs.

The interior plumbing and mechanical components of the waterfall were repaired and replaced in 2022. In order to restore, repair, and enhance the exterior of the monument, repairs are needed for the exterior of the monument as well as the pool liner.

A decision package to fund the repairs is approved in the 2023 City budget.

DISCUSSION:
Using the Job Order Contracting program (R20-221) F.H. Paschen, S.N. Nielsen & Associates, LLC submitted the attached proposal to perform the necessary repairs in the amount of $89,400.07. Images of the waterfall, map of the area, the proposal, and scope of the work are attached.

A ten percent (10%) contingency of $8,940.00 is requested for this project.

Monies to fund this project are budgeted in 2023 and allocated in account 340-4440-451.38-05.

F.H. Paschen is not indebted to the City.

IMPACT STATEMENT:
Timeline and duration of repairs specifically to the pool liner could take the waterfall out of service temporarily to allow for repairs and curing to properly take place.
Denial of the repairs, will allow the waterfall monument to fall into a further state of disrepair.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the City Council adopts a resolution authorizing F.H. Paschen, S.N. Nielsen & Associates, LLC to restore, repair and improve the areas in disrepair in the surrounding exterior of the Phillips Park Waterfall for $89,400.07 and a contingency amount of $8,940.
