Re: Discussion on tennis court reconstruction
Background: The 2018 budget for the Capital Improvement Fund includes $40,000 for the
reconstruction of the tennis courts at the Community Building. In 2017 striping for pickleball
was added to the tennis courts to allow for multiple use of the courts. At the February P arks
and Recreation Committee meeting the Committee voted to recommend modifying the plans
for the reconstruction of the courts to include the additional costs for multiple pickleball courts.
Two options for adding separate pickleball courts follow this report.
Issue: Should the specifications for reconstruction of the tennis courts modified to reflect the
design as recommended by the Parks & Recreation Committee?
Fiscal Impact: $40,000 has been budgeted for the project. The additional cost to separate the
tennis court and pickleball courts has not been determined
Options:
1. Have bid specifications prepared and solicit proposals for the surface reconstruction and
refer the court layout back to the PRC for further discussion
2. Have the bid specifications prepared and solicit proposal for both surface reconstruction
and for playing surface, posts, and fencing based the layouts recommended by the Parks &
Recreation Committee
3. Have the bid specifications prepared and solicit proposal for both surface reconstruction
and for playing surface, posts, and fencing reflect the current configuration with 2 tennis
courts that have additional striping for pickleball
4. Have the bid specifications reflect only the reconstruction and resurfacing of the 2 tennis
courts
5. Seek proposals for the current configuration with 2 tennis courts that have additional
striping for pickleball and within the proposal add as bid alternates the PRC recommended
design.
Recommendation: Option 5 – Due to the uncertainty of the cost it is not known whether the
recommended option can be constructed without additional funding.
