Title
Consider Approval Of An Award To RLM Earth Co., Pursuant to RFP #19-003 For Josey Ranch Field #6 Adaptive Sports Field Construction Services In An Amount Not To Exceed $215,670.00.
Body
BACKGROUND:
During our annual Parks Amenity Fund discussions in Fall 2017, the Parks & Recreation Department was approved to convert the Josey #6 baseball field to an adaptive sports field. As part of the upgrade, the existing infield at Josey #6 will be converted to a low pile synthetic turf that provides a more desirable surface for wheelchairs or individuals with special needs. New fencing, drainage and wider, ADA compliant dugouts will also be installed as part of this project. This field will provide a space for children, seniors, wounded warriors, and other individuals that may need accommodations, an adaptive surface to participate in programs or leagues.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The construction services for this project are budgeted and available in a capital fund account. While we have not used RLM Earth Co before, references were checked and we found they have a reputation for providing quality work on similar projects.
