Title
John Humphrey Complex Topographical & Grading plan
History
The athletic fields at John Humphrey Complex have had severe grading and drainage issues for the last several years. These issues have caused many cancellations of rentals as well as changing the overall attitude about the complex. Grade changes in areas are dramatic and need to be addressed. Grading needs to be evaluated on the entire interior complex, fields one (1) through four (4), and a plan of correction implemented. Staff reached out to our engineering firm Christopher B. Burke Engineering LTD (CBBEL) for a proposal to perform the topographical survey and to compile a grading plan for the site to improve grading and drainage to increase the functionality of the playing fields. Cost for the topographical survey and grading plan is $5,500.00. Once the plan is evaluated we can move forward with correcting the drainage and grading challenges that are affecting the area.
On April 17, 2017, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Committee, recommended for approval, and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Funds for this project are budgeted for FY2017 and are available in account 283-4003-432800.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the topographical survey and grading plan services for John Humphrey Complex from Christopher B. Burke engineering, LTD (CBBEL) for an amount not to exceed $5,500.00.
