The Parks and Recreation Commission has reviewed this proposal, approves and <br /> recommends it to the City Council. The Parks and Recreation Commission did <br /> 1111 appreciate the 12 foot high right field fence extension rather than the cost associated <br /> with the proposal for filling the ditch. The MVAA also understands that the cost is <br /> prohibitive and agrees that the 12 foot high fence will provide adequate distance <br /> protection to prevent too frequent homeruns. Representatives of MVAA have been <br /> invited to the agenda meeting to offer their input. <br /> Staff suggests that once the fence is removed, an ag-lime warning track be installed. <br /> The warning track would cover 2 feet beyond the fence line to serve as a maintenance <br /> strip. The ag-lime is recommended rather than a concrete maintenance strip for cost <br /> and safety reasons. The fence posts are currently driven without a maintenance strip. <br /> The additional costs of a maintenance strip are given on the bid sheet. <br /> Extra funds could be used for new topsoil and re-seeding or re-sodding the field in the <br /> fall, after the playing season concludes. <br /> Staff recommends awarding the bid to Able Fence to include $4,557 for fence removal <br /> and re-installation and new fencing, plus $950 for new material installed on the <br /> backstop plus 10 percent contingency for a total of $6,057.70 to be funded with <br /> budgeted monies in the 1990 Parks Fund, 100-4360-703-000. <br /> • <br /> MS/SL <br /> • <br />
