Committee hears contractor estimate of roughly $100,000 to build two concrete pickleball courts
Summary
A committee subcommittee reported outreach to court contractors and relayed a contractor estimate that two new concrete courts would cost about $100,000 total; the group plans a site walk and follow‑up cost and timeline details.
The Parks & Recreation Committee received a subcommittee update on the pickleball project, including a ballpark construction estimate and proposed next steps.
A subcommittee member reported contacting regional contractors and said one contractor, identified in the discussion as John Saviano, estimated that two courts built in concrete would cost roughly $100,000 total, with asphalt an estimated 25% cheaper. "If you do concrete, it'll be about a $100,000. If you do asphalt, it'll be 25% less," the presenter summarized, and indicated the figure was an initial, on‑the‑spot estimate rather than a firm bid.
The contractor suggested a construction timeline that includes several weeks of curing for concrete; the subcommittee plans a site walk to stake out dimensions and collect more precise measurements. The discussion noted a possible donor who has signaled interest in contributing approximately $100,000, and committee members discussed whether the town or local donors would bridge any funding gap.
Committee members agreed the next steps are to conduct a walk‑through with the contractor, collect a written cost and schedule proposal, and return with more complete cost breakdowns and donor confirmations at a future meeting.
