Page 2 ALTERNATIVE #1 (CONTINUED) This estimate is considered by staff to be the best alternative. An eight foot perimeter fence, four access gates, a 12' wide decomposed granite or similar material warning track, and a two foot mowing strip is needed in the project. The warning track is included, of course, to improve player safety. The mowing strip is required to minimize maintenance. ALTERNATIVE #2 - Reduce warning track in width. This would reduce the cost approximately $1,800.00 for each foot in width reduced. The 10-foot track is considered the best width for safety. ALTERNATIVE #3 - Use a standard soil/dirt as the warning track. While this alternative would reduce costs about $10,000.00 it is considered to be a maintenance problem and would not provide a good change in "feel" when running toward the fence from the grass fields. ALTERNATIVE #4 - Concrete mowing strip. The total cost for the project, fencing, gates, and a 4 foot wide concrete mowing strip would be $45,000.00. This alternative may be the best as far as maintenance is concerned but creates a safety hazard for players. ALTERNATIVE #5 - Fence only. Total cost-approximately $30,000.00 This alternative would require a maintenance program to either spray grass near the fence to inhibit growth or hand trim those areas where mowers cannot reach. The Players would not have any warning when approaching fence while playing. This alternative is attractive as it would allow a proper warning track to be developed later. Funds are avilable in the Park Three Year Capital Improvement Program to fund the project at this time. A budget amendment is required to proceed with the project.
