Explanation:
The Rotary Park baseball fields need to be closed for extended periods after rain events as some of the fields remain unplayable for days. During review of the construction plans for the Rotary Park, it became clear that additional drainage infrastructure could be added to the south east area of the park to improve recovery time after a rain event with minimal playing field disruption during construction.
Rotary Park drainage improvements are part of the General Obligation Bond project list approved by the voters in March 2019. In order to design, permit and construct these improvements, the City desires to hire a Consulting Engineering Firm.
On December 19, 2018, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2018-400 approving three-year continuing services contracts with five firms to provide Professional Engineering Services, one of them being Craven Thompson & Associates.
The Department of Design and Construction Management (“DCM”), previously negotiated and awarded, under the City Manager’s authority, a geotechnical study and conceptual scope and fee with Craven Thompson & Associates, Inc., ATP #1, in the amount of $11,875.00 which serves as the basis for the recommended scope of work for this contract.
DCM negotiated a project scope and fee with Craven Thompson & Associates, Inc. for the additional drainage infrastructure improvements that staff has determined to be fair and reasonable and in accordance with industry standards.
The project scope includes project surveying, utility coordination and subsurface utility exploration, the geotechnical investigation was completed in the previous planning and study contract. Three fields will be fitted with underdrains, and all field drainage will be connected to the C-10 via proposed outfalls and storm water detention areas.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this project was included in the FY 2021 Amended Capital Improvement Plan and is available in account number 333.309901.57200.563010.001198.000.000.
