1. Phasing & costs<br />
The master plan for <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Ellyn</strong> <strong>Park</strong> is based upon a<br />
long-term vision, and the proposed improvements will<br />
be completed in phases over time. The park is generally<br />
divided up into the six primary use areas:<br />
• <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Ellyn</strong><br />
• South Play/Lawn Area<br />
• Boathouse<br />
• North Picnic/Lawn Area<br />
• Ruth Candy <strong>Park</strong>way<br />
• Sam Perry Nature Preserve<br />
Each of these areas includes trails, landscapes, and park<br />
features of various types and uses. It is important that a<br />
more detailed design for each area be developed before<br />
improvements to that area are started. This will ensure<br />
the entire park will function and can be maintained as<br />
intended. It will also help to better define cost and subphasing<br />
parameters and priorities.<br />
Costs/budgeting<br />
As part of this master plan tool to aid in prioritization,<br />
budgeting, and fundraising, an estimate of potential<br />
capital costs has been developed and reviewed with<br />
the GEPD Board. The following is a list of the plan<br />
elements, and a range of capital costs to implement these<br />
elements. These costs are conservative, master-plan level<br />
budgeting figures, and include construction costs, design,<br />
engineering, permitting, initial warranty period (as<br />
appropriate), and a contingency. Costs are based upon<br />
certain design assumptions, typical recent unit costs, and<br />
similar park construction projects or components, and are<br />
subject to change based upon detailed design, sequencing,<br />
escalation, and other factors.<br />
