To approve an expenditure for Special Inspections and Construction Material Testing Services for the High Point North Maintenance Facility, Project No. 6972, in the amount of $98,023 for the Engineering Department from Terracon Consultants, Inc.; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.  Approved

This agenda item is for required material testing services and special inspections in support of the construction of the High Point North Maintenance Facility, approved by Council on July 27, 2020.

Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) Parks Maintenance staff currently house and deploy out of the 8,500 square foot Jack Carter Maintenance Facility.  That facility is 36 years old and inadequate to meet the current and growing needs of the PARD support staff.  Citizens approved the 2017 Bond Referendum to replace it with two facilities: the recently completed Enfield Athletic Field Maintenance Facility and this project.  The project will construct a new 22,453 square foot facility on a 5.7 acre site in the High Point North Athletic Complex.  Upon completion, the current Jack Carter Maintenance Facility site will then be converted to park land.

Funding for this item is available in the 2019-20 Park Improvements CIP and is planned for 2020-21, as well.  Construction material testing services, in the total estimated amount of $98,023, for the High Point North Maintenance Facility, will leave a current year balance of $438,179 for future project expenditures. 

Approval of this item will support the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of being an Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
