ARTICLE 8 (c) <br /> Project: Center Playfields Drainage - Implementation Phase <br /> CPA Category: Recreational Use <br /> Amount Requested: $875,173 <br /> Amount Recommended: $875,173 <br /> CPC Vote: (9-0) <br /> Project Description: <br /> The Center Playfields is the most heavily used recreation resource area in Town,one that covers <br /> approximately 23 acres.It hosts a number of youth, adult,recreation and school activities <br /> including football,baseball, softball, soccer,tennis and track(both active for sports and passive <br /> for numerous walkers of all ages). In addition,there is a playground structure, a skate park and a <br /> basketball court. The Center Playfields are a valuable community recreation resource. <br /> Unfortunately,this recreation site was constructed over a peat marsh,which is very poorly <br /> drained and holds water for extended periods. It is a normal occurrence for the grass field areas <br /> and the playground area to have standing water after storm events. This leads to a deterioration of <br /> the turf,which in turn is costly to protect from further damage. Events need to be cancelled or <br /> delayed and use of the site can become limited.This project will consist of implementing the <br /> drainage mitigation solutions (surface drainage, sub-surface drainage, grade changes, swales, etc.) <br /> as outlined by Stantec in their engineering report of October 2009, which is available in the Cary <br /> Memorial Library, and the DPW,Recreation and.CFC offices. <br /> Project Goals and Objectives: <br /> • Implement a three-phase mitigation plan to correct the surface and sub-surface drainage <br /> issues at the Center Playfields. Each phase can be performed separately but all three <br /> phases will tic together to vastly improve the existing site conditions. <br /> • Install drainage systems that move surface runoff more quickly away from the fields and <br /> play areas. <br /> • Preserve this valuable Town Recreation area. <br /> • Protect the fields from injury, harm, or destruction. <br /> Project Benefit: <br /> This project is of great importance and relevance to the community. This project will address the <br /> complicated drainage problems and use the most cost effective approach for remediation to <br /> protect the fields from further injury,harm or destruction. <br /> Funding Request: <br /> This FY 2011 request for$875,173 in CPA funding is to address the baseball and softball field <br /> areas along Worthen Road. Since this project represents the first phase in a three year drainage <br /> mitigation project, it is anticipated that there will be requests to the CPC in the next two years. <br /> The FY 2012 request will be $575,612 to address the football field area, and the FY 2013 request <br /> will be $605,718 to address the track,practice field,parking and little league field areas. These <br /> budget estimates are based on the 2009 engineering report by Stantec referenced above. <br /> 8 <br />
