Silver View <br /> field fencing would remain in the same location, removing the old fence and installing a new 10' high fence. " <br /> This higher fence would provide additional safety for players and would make it more difficult to hit <br /> �homeruns. City Hall field fencing would be pushed back approximately 15'to provide a greater outfield <br /> istance and larger warning track. This would increase field distance and safety. Bids are as follows: <br /> Town and Country Fence: City Hall (1 field) $11,560 <br /> Silver View(2 fields) 20667 <br /> $33,727 <br /> Crown Fence & Wire Co. City Hall (1 field) 10,214 <br /> Silver View Field 41 9,691 <br /> Silver View Field 42 9,680 <br /> $29,585 <br /> Able Fence City Hall& Silver View <br /> Fields (3 total) . $31,295 <br /> The City has previous experience with all three fencing companies and find them all to be reputable. If <br /> Council is interested in pursuing the replacement of all three field fences, I recommend that half be funded <br /> through Park Improvement Fund and half be funded through Recreation Activity Fund. Users of these three <br /> fields include Adult Softball Teams, Irondale Girls Fastpitch teams, Irondale Baseball League and the general <br /> iFECOMMENDATION: <br />
