AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for
All -Weather Surface Installation Project at the Grape Bowl, 221 Lawrence Avenue
MEETING DATE: March 3, 2010
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the plans and specifications and authorize advertisement
for bids for the All -Weather Surface Installation Project at the
Grape Bowl, 221 Lawrence Avenue.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On October 7, 2009, the City Council awarded a contract to
Beals Alliance for engineering and design services to convert the
existing grass athletic field at the Grape Bowl to an all-weather
surface.
The project will consist of an all-weather playing field, an 18 -inch concrete curb, and a sidewalk path of
travel to the handicapped parking area, all as presented in ExhibitA.
Staff is requesting that Council approve the plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for bids
for this project.
Plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. Should a contract be awarded for
this project, construction will begin immediately following graduation in June, with the contractor needing
approximately eight weeks to complete the work.
FISCAL IMPACT: Installing an all-weather turf at the Grape Bowl with its existing amenities is
less expensive than constructing a synthetic field at another location and
adding the same amenities that exist at the Grape Bowl. Several
conventional grass fields would need to be constructed to equal the same
recreational capacity as one all-weather turf. General Fund annual maintenance costs would be
approximately $30,000 less than a comparable grass field.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Parks Impact Fees (1217005) $1,050,000
