Title
Capital Reserve Request for Mecklenburg County Sportsplex Synthetic Turf Fields
Action
ACTION:
Appropriate $750,000 in available funds from the Synthetic Turf Capital Reserve Fund (9002) to complete Phase II of synthetic turf renovation at the Mecklenburg County Sportsplex.
Staff Contact: Greg Clemmer, Division Director, Park Operations
Presentation: No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Capital Reserve accounts were established to provide funding to maintain synthetic turf fields. Mecklenburg County Sportsplex has four (4) synthetic turf fields that have reached the end of their life expectancy. The fields opened in 2017. General repair is needed to the safety features surrounding these fields. Completing all projects at the same time, while the fields are closed, limits the impact to the customer. Renovation will include replacement of four (4) synthetic turf fields at Mecklenburg County Sportsplex, replacement of safety netting and fencing and new soccer goals.
PROCUREMENT BACKGROUND:
Park and Recreation staff has contacted County Procurement and will work together on this project to meet all County and State purchasing requirements.
POLICY IMPACT:
N/A
FISCAL IMPACT:
Increase of $750,000 in appropriations from available funds in the Synthetic Turf Capital Reserve Fund (9002)
