Title
John Humphrey Complex/Eagle Ridge II Dugout Shade Structures
History
As part of the yearly improvements to athletic fields, staff have identified two (2) heavily used baseball/softball fields that do not have shade structures over the dugouts. The installation of shade structures helps to reduce temperatures, as well as provides protection from UV rays and rain.
Staff proposes to install shade structures over both dugouts on field 5 at the John Humphrey Complex and over both of the baseball/softball field dugouts at Eagle Ridge II Park.
Parkreation Inc. is a distributor of Icon Shelters. Parkreation has provided a quote (attached) for the purchase of four (4) Shade System shade structures for a total of $27,836.00, utilizing the HGAC cooperative contract #PR11-20.
The proposed shade structures are identical to the dugout shade structures currently in use at the John Humphrey Complex, as well as the Centennial Park baseball/softball fields. The CoolNet fabric screens up to 99% of UV rays, while still permitting air flow creating a more comfortable environment for users.
These structures have proven to be reliable, are easily removable and include a comprehensive warranty (attached) for the structure, fabric, cables and parts.
Financial Impact
Funds are available in account 283-4003-443250.
