The 1998 Capital Improvement Program allocated $131,000 00 to replace the existing ball field lighting system at Sandy Lane Park. An additional $240,000 00 was earmarked from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund to address damage to the ball field and retaining wall caused by substantial creek embankment erosion The storm and erosion damage ~ occurred on May 3, 1999 Parks and Community Services Department staff confirmed availability of Capital Project Reserve funds with the Budget Office on September 20, 2000 Funds from the Capital Project Reserve for the repair of erosion damage were identified in the process to fund unfunded capital needs. On November 10, 2000 (M&C C-18276), the City Council approved award of a contract to Teague, Nall and Perkins, Inc. for the design and preparation of construction documents for ball field lighting and embankment improvements, in the amount of $46,190 00 During the design phase, the consultant recommended that if the field were rotated, the retaining wall that was destroyed would not need to be rebuilt, and the cost to resolve the embankment erosion damage would be reduced At the schematic design phase, staff met with the Ryanwood Neighborhood Association and all of the homeowners who immediately abut the existing ball field to get their input on the proposed design The proposed designs were then amended to satisfy their concerns. The project was advertised for bid on June 21 and 28, 2001 On July 12, 2001, the bids listed below were received City of Fort Worth, Texas ~1-~A~a~r And Caunc~l Ca~rtinun~cA~ian DATE REFERENCE NUMBER LOG NAME PAGE ~ 10/9/01 C-18773 REVISED 80FIELD 2 of 4 SUBJECT AWARD OF CONTRACT TO G C CARTER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SANDY LANE PARK BALL FIELD, L{GHTING AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS The low base bid was $304,860 53 from G C Carter Construction Company With amendments as discussed below, G C Carter Construction Company's adjusted bid was $204,626.26 BIDDERS BASE BID *8 **2 and 3 TOTAL G.

For this reason, the ball field lighting portion of the project is recommended for deletion (base bid line Item No 8 ball field lighting would be deducted) The Parks and Community Services Department has arranged for the Transportation and Public Works Department to instal{ the ball field lighting, at a substantially- reduced cost, with the remaining project balance of $91,498 00 In addition, it is recommended that bid alternate No 2 totaling $411.27 (deletion of a 4-foot fence) be deducted, allowing for the acceptance of bid alternate No. 3 totaling $1,656 00 which provides fora 6- foot high outfield fence, a total bid alternate amount of $1,244 73. G C Carter Construction Company provided the lowest base bid of $304,860 00, and the lowest bid with the recommended alternatives at $204,626.26 It is recommended that G C Carter Construction Company's bid be approved for award of a contract. The contract time is 75 working days. The proposed expenditure addresses the needed channel improvements while restoring to use the ball field affected by the erosion damage The proposed solution does so in a manner that is at a reasonable cost and substantially less than the estimated costs to replace the retaining wall The original 1998 Capital Improvement Program need for replacement on the ball field lighting system will also be addressed at a substantial savings.
