BACKGROUND The 2014 Parks and Recreation Master Plan identified the need to resurface the basketball courts in 12 City parks. Subsequently, the Parks Division conducted an analysis of the various basketball courts and identified the courts at Tennis and Community Park, Tawny Park and Meadows Park as the highest priority courts. These courts were prioritized based both on their deteriorating condition and the amount of play at these locations. In 2017, to further analyze the courts, staff had their on-call geotechnical engineering consultant, BSK Associates, conduct a geotechnical report of the soils at all three parks and provide a recommendation for the pavement section. Utilizing the geotechnical report, staff had RHAA Landscape Architecture + Planning conduct an investigation to determine the best method of renovating the courts. The options examined included: 1. Removing and replacing the asphalt 2. Installing a slip sheet overlay 3. Removing the asphalt courts and installing standard concrete courts 4. Removing the courts and installing post-tension concrete courts The investigation concluded that the slip sheet overlay system provided the best balance between cost and longevity, with the expected longevity of the slip sheet system at 20 to 25 years. In April 2018, the City hired Callander Associates Landscape Architecture to complete the construction documents due to their experience designing and specifying the slip sheet system. On August 21, 2018, City Council awarded the contract to the sole bidder, Vintage Contractors, Inc., in the amount of $373,570. Council authorized the Director of Engineering to approve change orders up to the project contingency amount of $38,000. There were three change orders required for this project, totaling $34,847. The following is a brief summary of each change: 1. Repair half-court tennis court at Meadows Park for $16,980. 2. Install additional concrete pavement and root barrier for $6,875. 3. Removal of two overly sized basketball post footings and installation of concrete; relocation of existing drain line, for $10,992. Page 2of3
