AC–2015ATM PPROPRIATIONOMMITTEE drainage, a new backstop, benches, and trash barrels. Initially, this project was planned for FY2017, but it was pushed to start a year earlier due to the poor current condition of the field. The improved field condition will reduce the need for DPW and Recreation staff hours and equip- ment, since it will require only routine maintenance and not emergency repairs. Recurring cost will continue to be irrigation water. The expected life of this field, after renovation, is 10 years. Recreation. Eligible for CPA funding as Article 8(k) Park and Playgrounds ADA Accessibility Study - $78,000 This appropriation will fund a Lexington Recreation Facilities and ADA Compliance Study of Lex- ington recreation areas, which will determine need for accessibility improvements. The study will include a facilities compliance assessment, recommendations and options for probable costs for play equipment, facilities access, signage, handicapped parking, accessibility pathways, accessible and non-compliant seating, bleachers, picnic facilities and golf course buildings. As a result of the study, a written Transition Plan will be developed and incorporated in future capital plans. Recreation. Eligible for CPA funding as Article 8(l) Park Improvements - Hard Court Resurfacing - $55,000 This request is to rehabilitate the basketball courts at Sutherland Park and Marvin Park by recon- structing the courts and installing new backboards/poles. The current structures have extensive cracks and frost heaves, which will require reconstruction. The expected replacement frequency after repairs is 12 years. Recreation. Eligible for CPA funding as Article 8(m) Lincoln Park Field Improvements - Phase 3 Funding Amount Source GFDebt$236,500 CPA$220,000 Recreation EF$193,000 Total$650,000 This is the third phase of a three phase capital project addressing safely and playability on the syn- thetic fields at Lincoln Park. In this phase, the Lincoln Park #3 synthetic field will be removed, partially recycled, and replaced with a similar synthetic carpet and fill-in. Drainage will be inspected and repaired if needed, and the subsurface will be laser graded prior to synthetic surface installation. Walkways around the field will be rehabilitated. The walkway edging near the bathroom will be replaced, and a guardrail will be added to prevent vehicles from driving on the synthetic turf. The Lincoln Park synthetic fields were installed in 2003, and had a life expectancy and warranty of 10 years. In the high use areas, the fibers are beginning to show wear and tear, start falling off the carpet, or are split/broken giving the appearance of a scouring pad. Synthetic surface replacement is necessary, but the underlayment and drainage system can be used for two or three turf replacements. The improved field condition will reduce the need for DPW and Recreation staff hours and equip- ment for emergency repairs. 22
