body
2. Summary
The basketball courts at Grijalva Park were last resurfaced in June 2016. Since that time, large cracks and spalls have formed due to joint expansion created by constant settling in the ground. The cracks and spalls are now presenting a safety concern that require professional resurfacing. The appropriation request of $27,600 is needed for the cost of a new Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Capital Improvement Project, Grijalva Basketball Court Resurface, to complete the necessary repairs to the courts.

6. Discussion and Background
The two outdoor basketball courts at Grijalva Park are heavily used by the public on a regular basis for recreational play and require upkeep and maintenance, including resurfacing, to maintain safe playing spaces. Sport court resurfacing is specialized and should be completed on a regular schedule. A typical maintenance schedule includes court resurfacing every five years. The outdoor basketball courts at Grijalva Park were last resurfaced in June 2016.
As a result, a large expansion joint crack down the middle of the Grijalva basketball court has formed. Since Grijalva Park was built on an old landfill, constant settling in the park’s subsurface, along with a wet winter, have contributed to a faster expansion of that joint over the past year. While staff has repaired the joint over the years, the courts are now in need of professional resurfacing.
Staff has contacted several construction and surfacing companies to complete this project. The scope of work includes patching cracks and spalls, primer application, resurfacing coat, striping, and caulk replacement. The repairs and resurfacing, have an anticipated expense of $27,600, including a 20% contingency.
As this project is currently not an approved Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Capital Improvement Project, staff is requesting an appropriation of $27,600 from the Park Acquisition (Infill) (510) unreserved fund balance. Any unused funding will be released back to the fund balance.
Due to the anticipated amount of the project, the agreement can be approved under City Manager’s signing authority. The project is anticipated to be completed in 1 to 2 weeks after the contractor has been scheduled.
