DISCUSSION ITEMS

Consideration of Adding Design of Turf Field to Scope

As we look toward the future of the Woodland High School stadium there are good reasons for us to consider installing a turf field, either at opening or in the foreseeable future. The purpose of this agenda item will be to discuss with the board three different options for consideration: 1) Do nothing... Stay with a grass field and when the time comes retrofit the field for a turn field. Retrofitting will involve removing the concrete curb barrier, (typically an 8 inch deep curb profile), replacing the curb with a typical residential curb profile, ( typically 16-18 inches deep). Retrofitting may also require deepening the drainage a few inches from a typical grass field. 2) Stay with a Grass Field, but design and install residential profile curbing around the track (abt. $10/linear foot additional) and install drainage at an appropriate depth for a future field) The total cost of these additions would likely be about $25,000. There will be no additional fee for design of these elements... (as the landscape architect says... "electrons are free, no real additional design is necessary" 3) Do #2, plus design a turf field and bid as an additive bid alternate. The design fees will be $25,647
