Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract with Fazzone Construction Co., LLC for the Old Settlers Park Adult Recreation Complex Basketball Court Project 2021.
Body
As part of the second phase of development at the Adult Recreation Complex at Old Settlers Park, a covered basketball court will be installed. Currently, there isn't a basketball court in Old Settlers Park and very few on the west side of the City are open to the public. This amenity will provide ample space for basketball (both free and league play), as well as other sports such as pickelball and futsol. This item will authorize the City to work with Fazzone Construction to construct a post-tension basketball court and associated flatwork. Previously, Council has approved the purchase and installation of a fabric shade structure to cover the basketball court. In the hot Texas sun, courts with shade coverings are much more functional and provide a better experience for patrons.
The Adult Recreation Complex at Old Settlers Park currently includes two (2) lighted recreational softball fields, a small
restroom facility, spectator seating and shade, flexible field space, and parking. This project replaced the two softball fields currently located in McNeil Park which will be removed as part of the Nutty Brown Development. The second phase of construction will include a covered basketball court and additions to the HUB building.
Cost: $155,277.73
