Summary
DESCRIPTION OF TOPIC: (who, what, when, where, why, and how much)
Request permission to appropriate and approve $3,560,967 for the design and construction of a new 5-plex at the Foley Sports Complex next to the existing 5-plex on the property recently purchased from Rita (Underwood) Watts. The capital project number is 12-665-7353 R22 CONST and resolution 14-0541 appropriated $389, 033 for preliminary/design costs.
This project will include building 5 new baseball/softball fields, a concession stand, additional parking, piping for some of the existing ditches created with our existing 5-plex, shade structures, and a small playground. Additionally, we will be moving the dirt mound that currently exists on the site. The project will be completed with multiple bid packages to reduce the overhead margin typically provided by a General Contractor. Packages include:
1. Dirt Work - removing the existing dirt from the site. Dirt will be removed from site and possibly spread over other City property.
2. Site Work - ball field site work, drainage, utilities, parking, and erosion.
3. Hardscape - concrete sidewalks and pad.
4. Irrigation - parking lot and ball fields.
5. Grassing - seeding and sprigging, landscaping.
6. Fencing - all fencing required.
7. Concessions Building - over 3,000 square feet including a covered area, umpire’s room, storage for crew, storage for concessions, and bathrooms.
8. Specialty Trades - dug-outs, entrance structure, bleachers, benches, foul poles, scorers' table, and backstop netting.
9. Site Electrical - sports field lighting, security lighting, scoreboards, and parking lot lighting.
10. Alternates - including prefab shade structures, asphalt bike trails, outdoor fitness area, and water feature.
The timeline for completion is December 2015.
