On 12/8/20, Shelter #3 at Castaways Point Park failed a structural inspection performed by both Code Enforcement and Parks and Facilities.   After acquiring the necessary permit, the Shelter was removed, and a replacement was requested in the current FY21 budget process.

Shelter #3 at Castaways Point Park provided residents and non-residents a place to rent for family reunions, birthday celebrations and picnics year-round.  The shelter was originally erected in 2008.  It was a steel structure that succumbed to the saltwater elements, thus causing the short lifespan of the shelter.

To rectify the loss The Parks and Facilities Department is requesting to replace the shelter with an improved wooden structure that is much less subject to the environmental factors that exist where the previous shelter was located.  To fund this, the Parks and Facilities Department requests $29,068.55 from the Undesignated Fund Balance via savings acquired from the eliminated Parks and Recreation Assistant Director position on May 7, 2021.

The cost breakdown for the Shelter replacement is as follows:

$11,789          Pavilion Cost from RCP Shelters

$850               Building Permit and Review Fees

$288               Soil Treatment

$300               Fill Dirt

$6,050            Concrete & Rebar

$1,500            Complete Roofing and Sealant

$1,500            Electrical and water

$3,000            Landscaping and handicap parking upgrade

Sub-total $25,277, plus a 15.00% contingency of $3,791.55 for a total of $29,068.55. 

Labor will be in house.
