A splash pad is included as a desired amenity for Donner Park in the Parks Master Plan. Upon issuing
invitations to bid and soliciting a cost from ACON Construction, which has a design
buildconstruction agreement with the City of Jacksonville that the City of Atlantic Beach can utilize as a
"piggyback", City staff recommends moving forward with a desk-buildconstruction agreement with
ACON. The sole respondent to the City's invitations to bids submitted a price of $691,500; the total
project cost for the City to utilize ACON, which recently completed a splash pad at Lonnie Miller Park
in Jacksonville, will not exceed $607,500.
The guaranteed maximum price provided by ACON Construction, along with additional items that are
required, are as follows:
ACON Guaranteed Maximum Price $474,000 (Splash pad, equipment & hardscape)
WaterPlay fountains & toys $78,000 (Direct purchase by City)
Equipment Shelter $20,000
Electrical Service $15,000
Sewer Connection $20,500
Total $607,500
BUDGET:
Funding for the splash pad is as follows:
FRDAP Grant $185,500
CDBG Grant $36,500
COAB Grant Match $185,500
Reallocated FY 2022-23 Funding $200,000
Total $607,500
Not including staff time for cleaning and daily visits to check water quality, filters, etc., monthly
maintenance costs for the splash pad are expected to be less than $1,000 per month when it is being
operated in the warmer months. Even during the warmer months, the splash pad will be turned off until
the activator button is pushed by a user.
RECOMMENDATION: Commission approve Resolution 23-22.
