PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid to Carolina Green Corporation for field construction
and irrigation improvements at the West Ten Soccer Complex (Phase I of project).
BACKGROUND: This project has been discussed by the Board several times. While the
financial options were under consideration, staff and design consultant Corley, Redfoot, Zack
(CRZ) continued to work toward the earliest possible construction schedule. The Board
officially authorized full development of the West Ten Soccer Center during discussions on the
alternative financing package at its April 24th meeting. The portion of the project covered by this
contract is the final development of the field surfaces as well as the irrigation system. Five full
size playing fields and one smaller field will be fully constructed and Bermuda grass applied as
early in the growing season as possible to take advantage of the relatively short window of
opportunity available. Additional contracts will be brought to the Board in coming months for the
fencing and other site improvements.
Bids for Phase I were received on May 8, with three bidders responding. Bids ranged from
$539,400 to $592,900. An alternate was included to isolate costs on a particular brand of
irrigation equipment that may be provided through a grant with the U.S. Soccer Foundation:
The benefits of exercising the alternate is under advisement and is not included in the amount
requested for award at this time.
FINANCIAL- IMPACT: The 2001 voter approved bonds currently available to fund Phase I of
West Ten Soccer Complex, as outlined in the Background section, total $733,000. Additional
funding for further development of the Complex would be funded with Board approved
alternative financing totaling $2,267,000 that is planned for issuance in June 2007.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board award a bid to Carolina
Green Corporation for an amount not to exceed $539,400; and authorize the Purchasing
Director to execute paperwork as may be required.
