71 <br />Project <br />Gator Run Park is located in the City of Weston adjacent to Gator Run Elementary <br />School. Early design concepts incorporated three - dimensional landforms to create a <br />spatially interesting and interactive park. The landforms were limited in size to the <br />amount of muck fill that had been relocated on the site. Thus, careful consideration and <br />calculation of fill material was undertaken. Three earthen mounds of varying elevations <br />were designed along with appropriately graded handicap accessible walkways. <br />The range in topography facilitated a range of planting concepts and diverse pro- <br />grammatic elements. The park is primarily passive in nature, with ample walks and <br />pathways. There are several active elements, including a multi - purpose field associated <br />with the adjacent school and a sand volleyball area and the installation of children's play <br />equipment. A signature programmatic element of the park is the creation of an area <br />designed to attract butterflies, display native plant species, and serve as a nature trail. <br />Trails, connected to a larger network, with greater grade changes, were included to <br />accommodate for more rigorous activities including jogging, and rollerblading. <br />Client <br />City of Weston <br />Contact information <br />at time of project: <br />John Flint <br />City Manager <br />2500 Weston Road <br />Suite 101 <br />Weston, Florida 33331 <br />954 385 -2000 <br />Project Date <br />2002 <br />Services Provided <br />Site Design, Landscape <br />Architectural and Irrigation <br />Design, Civil Engineering, <br />Construction Administration <br />Key Personnel <br />Tammy Cook- Weedon, <br />ASLA, RLA <br />Construction Estimate <br />of the Project Cost <br />$701,943.70 <br />Amount of Initial <br />Contract Award <br />$483,801 <br />Number of Change <br />Orders <br />3 <br />Value of Change <br />Orders <br />$80,094 <br />Amount of Initial <br />Design Fees <br />$87,052 <br />Change Orders to <br />Design Contract and <br />Dollar Value <br />N/A <br />
