The DNR is planning to install a splash pad at the beachfront of one state park to increase safety by providing alternative water recreation for visitors when hazardous water conditions exist. The splash pad will be in either the Holland State Park or the Warren Dunes State Park, likely near the day-use swim area beach. The awarded Professional Services Contractor (PSC) will conduct a Phase 100 Study and recommend a preferred splash pad location in the day use area of each state park and recommend which of the two parks is optimal for hosting a splash pad. The Study should include considerations for soil conditions, required utilities, proximity to restrooms, parking requirements, accessibility, wind-blown sand conditions, ease of maintenance, observation areas, spatial limitations, budget restrictions, critical dunes, etc. Upon DNR acceptance of the Phase 100 recommendations, the PSC will proceed into Phase 300 Schematic Design. The PSC will develop two different schematic design options in each park for a splash pad. Then a third, final design option for each park will be adjusted and refined based on DNR feedback of the designs presented in the first two options of each park. Both final park splash pad schematic designs must address the following: Master plan with spatial configuration of the splash pad and amenities, circulation, structures, etc. water features and play elements of the splash pad, and how they operate, splash pad water management system (drain away, recirculation, or hybrid), infrastructure tie-ins (water supply, storm and sanitary sewer, and electrical), ground surfacing materials (durable, anti-slip, temperature, wet-edge transition) amenities including shading, benches, seat walls, and picnic tables, lighting, surrounding landscaping, connections to parking and existing restrooms, accessibility, design impacts from existing soil conditions, and other relevant items not noted above. The PSC must conduct a survey of the community and host an open house at each park to obtain public input from adults and children regarding splash pad features and amenities, report the public input findings to the DNR and DTMB, and incorporate findings into the final Phase 300 Schematic Design as directed by the DNR and DTMB. The PSC must provide an opinion of construction cost for the final splash pad schematic designs, including installation of a complete splash pad system, surroundings, and all necessary support elements. In addition, the PSC must provide budgets for operational costs, including seasonal opening/closing, maintenance labor, energy, water usage, monitoring, and administration.
