Memorandum
Attached for review and action is a resolution to approve a $123,311.00 contract with Sommerset Paving Companies, LLC for renovations to the basketball courts at Southeast Area Park and Leslie Park.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funding is available in the approved FY2021 Park Maintenance and Capital Improvement Millage budget.
Project Description: The City is making improvements to existing basketball courts that are in disrepair. The basketball courts at Southeast Area Park and Leslie Park both have significant surface cracks, making play difficult and unsafe. The condition of the basketball courts has deteriorated beyond the point where crack repair and color coating is a viable alternative, requiring a total replacement of the asphalt surfacing.
The existing basketball equipment at both Southeast Area Park and Leslie Park is in acceptable condition and will not need to be replaced at this time. The court at Southeast Area Park has a perimeter fence and a set of bleachers, neither of which will be replaced during construction. The benches at Leslie Park are in poor condition and will upgraded with new bench seating.
Game court repairs are identified in the CIP and PROS Plan as park priorities. The project meets multiple Sustainability Goals, including:

? Active Living and Learning
? Sustainable Systems
