Body
SUMMARY:
In April 2015, the Lease Agreement between the City and The Winning Inning Inc. for the use, operation and maintenance of Jack Russell Stadium was mutually terminated. Since then the City has assumed operations of the stadium and continues to program and operate a vibrant and busy schedule of activities throughout the year.
This project will convert a men’s restroom on the third base side of Jack Russell Field into a men’s and women’s restroom that can be used by visitors to either Jack Russell or Walter Campbell Park.
CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funding has been secured and will be used to assist in the funding of this project.
Request to award the contract to an at risk contractor is due to the very tight time schedule and need to complete the project to meet federal funding guidelines associated with CDBG funding.
This item supports the City Strategic Direction by providing not only quality facilities and improvements to maintain the city infrastructure but also provides efficiency in partnering with other funding agencies to meet the needs of the community.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available in Capital Improvement Project 315-93656, Jack Russell Demolition and Refurbishment.
