8 9Donation Garden Park Master Plan: Executive Summary <br />Proposed Improvements Preliminary Estimate of Construction Costs <br />Existing Donation Garden <br />The existing donation garden was established in <br />2011 and is an important part of community life in <br />Orono and surrounding cities. The master plan does <br />not recommend its location or size be changed, <br />but rather that additional amenities be constructed <br />around it. <br />Parking Lot <br />An asphalt parking lot with approximately 46 standard <br />parking stalls and 2 ADA stalls is proposed between <br />the park entrance and other amenities. This will <br />make for easier access between one’s vehicle and <br />the existing and proposed park features. It also <br />provides a distinct area for parkgoers to park that is <br />separate fromt that of the adjacent Long Lake Fire <br />Department. <br />12’ Walk <br />Sidewalks of a minimum width of 12’ are proposed <br />to connect the donation garden, parking lot, portable <br />restroom, and pickleball courts. These walks are to <br />be stable, non-slip, and ADA accessible. Pedestrian <br />access is an important park of making the park <br />welcoming and useable by all community members. <br />Image from Richmond, Indiana Pickleball Club <br />Nine Pickleball Courts <br />Nine pickleball courts are proposed as part of the <br />Donation Garden Park master plan. These could <br />be built in phases or all at once, as determined <br />by funding and construction needs. Pickleball’s <br />popularity has skyrocketed, and is appealing to <br />people of many different ages and abilities. <br />Portable Restroom & Garbage <br />A portable restroom and garbage receptacle are <br />proposed on site to help keep the space clean <br />and make visiting the park a comfortable, inviting <br />experience. Regular maintenance will be necessary <br />to maintain these facilies. <br />Stormwater Pond <br />The stormwater pond to the southeast corner of the <br />park will collect stormwater runnoff and treat it for <br />quality and quantity. It will be planted with native seed <br />or perennials adapted to Minnesota. The stormwater <br />pond will also create a small habitat area. <br />Shade Trees <br />Canopy trees are proposed to shade some of the <br />parking lot. A row of trees is proposed along the <br />western park boundary to shade the parking lot and <br />pickleball courts, and to provide physical and visual <br />separation between the Donation Garden Park and <br />the the existing fire station to the west. <br />PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS DONATION GARDEN IMPROVEMENTSCity of Orono <br />####### <br />ITEM NO.ITEM DESCRIPTION UNIT UNIT COST <br />TOTAL <br />ESTIMATED <br />QUANTITY <br />TOTAL ESTIMATED <br />COST <br />1 MOBILIZATION LUMP SUM 8% of total 1 $59,200.00 <br />SITE CONSTRUCTION <br />2 Clearing & Grubbing LUMP SUM $6,000.00 1 $6,000.00 <br />3 Erosion Control LUMP SUM $2,500.00 1 $2,500.00 <br />4 Site Grading & Excavation LUMP SUM $15,000.00 1 $15,000.00 <br />5 Bituminous Parking Lot (including curb and <br />gutter)LUMP SUM $110,000.00 1 $110,000.00 <br />6 Concrete Walk (4")SQ FT $9.00 6500 $58,500.00 <br />MUNICIPAL SERVICES <br />7 Portable Restroom LUMP SUM $3,000.00 1 $3,000.00 <br />8 Garbage Enclosure LUMP SUM $5,000.00 1 $5,000.00 <br />PICKLEBALL COURTS <br />9 Court, fencing,striping and netting (9 courts <br />total in 3 groupings of 3)LUMP SUM $495,000.00 1 $495,000.00 <br />STORMWATER POND AND SITE VEGETATION <br />10 Landscaping (trees, shrubs, perennials and <br />seed)LUMP SUM $20,000.00 1 $20,000.00 <br />11 Stormwater Pond (grading , soil, mulch and <br />plant material)LUMP SUM $25,000.00 1 $25,000.00 <br />SUBTOTAL $799,200.00 <br />15% CONTINGENCY $119,880.00 <br />PRELIMINARY CONSTRUCTION COST* $919,080.00 <br />*Assumed 2025 construction <br />88
