February

Highlights:

• The Notice to Proceed was issued to the contractor, Forney Construction, on November 30, 2020. A pre-construction meeting was held December 02, 2020 and Contractor’s crews mobilized to the site.
• Contractor has completed set up of site security and storm water protection devices in the working area. They have finished removal of existing grass from the cricket/rugby and miracle fields and begun grading. QC laboratories, the project construction material testing (CMT) firm, has been onsite during select fill placement and compaction.
• Concrete foundation pads have been formed and poured for the concession stand/restrooms and for the maintenance building. Plumbing and electrical permits have been applied for through the City eTRAK-iT site.
• A ground-breaking ceremony was held on January 13, 2021 with the Mayor, City Council members, the City Manager’s Office, Engineering and Parks and Recreation staff, the design Architect and the contractor. Communications department provided livestream access to the event online for public viewing.
• Staff have issued purchases orders for the owner provided/contractor installed items, to include the bleachers and shade structures for the miracle field, cricket/rugby field spectator bleachers, team benches, waste and recycle receptacles and ADA tables. Delivery of these items is in accordance with the contractor’s project schedule.

Upcoming Work Items:

• Contractor will begin sidewalk construction along Kingsley Ln, then install cricket/rugby field fencing prior to installation of drainage systems and finalizing the grading for the synthetic turf. Sequencing construction this way minimizes disturbance to site improvements that have been completed.
• During the development of the design and the engineer’s opinion of probable cost the project was proposed to be over budget for the construction. To reduce cost projections Staff worked with the design to reduce the scope of equipment such as additional irrigation and sod, bleachers, score boards, shade structures and some concrete sidewalk enhancements. With bids for the work below the engineers estimate and TIRZ funds remaining, staff have requested proposals from the contractor for construction of these improvements. The proposals will be evaluated for inclusion in the project.
• The maintenance building (previously removed from Phase 1 for cost reasons) is included in the Phase 2 work. The building will be a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) with a CMU and split- face stone veneer which is scheduled to be erected in late May 2021. The shop drawings are being completed by Whirlwind, the selected manufacturer, and will be sent to City permitting for their final review and approval.
