City to seek stand‑alone approval next meeting for Charter Park courts and pump track design contract
Summary
Staff presented a design and engineering agreement with Parametrics for Charter Park sports courts and a pump track (RCO grant funding). The engineer’s scope, a site survey ($9,236) and a not‑to‑exceed design cap of $128,456 were discussed; council asked staff to return the contract as a standalone agenda item with the ceiling explicitly stated.
Staff told council the city has been awarded Recreation and Conservation Office funds to design and build sports courts and a pump track at Charter Park, and Parametrics prepared a scope and budget for design and cultural resources work.
Parametrics’ proposal includes a site survey line item ($9,236) and a combined design fee not to exceed $128,456. Council members asked whether a boundary or record-of-survey would be required by the grant and whether geotechnical work would be necessary; staff said property corners are already set, a full boundary survey is not required now and geotechnical work is not expected for these site improvements.
Council asked staff to bring the contract back as a standalone action item with an explicit maximum not‑to‑exceed amount so change orders can be controlled and to confirm which ancillary tasks would be billed as additional services. Staff also noted SoundBuilt (the PUD developer) will provide two pickleball courts under its obligations and that coordination between the developer, Parametrics and the city is underway.
Next steps: staff will bring a stand‑alone agenda bill at the next meeting with the contract language capped at $128,456 and clearer notes on included versus additional services.
