AGENDA TITLE: Receive Update on Emergency Condition at Grape Bowl
MEETING DATE: September 2, 2015
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director
C-14
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive update on emergency condition at Grape Bowl.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A water leak beneath the artificial playing surface at the Grape Bowl
was discovered on August 10, 2015, resulting in large amounts of
engineered fill being washed away and a collapse of a section of the
field. On August 19, the City Council declared an emergency condition exists at the Grape Bowl so that
staff could expedite repairs and prevent additional failures of the engineered foundation.
Since then, agreements with FieldTurf Tarkett and A.M. Stephens have been prepared, allowing them to
schedule crews for the task of opening the playing surface and excavating and reconstructing the
foundation, and reassembly. Work is expected to commence on September 14 and last approximately
one week. Estimated cost remains approximately $75,000, with $80,000 appropriated from the Parks
Capital fund for this repair.
Staff anticipates the field will be ready to accommodate football games the week of September 21.
