O'Fallon council approves nearly $3 million turf replacement for Family Sports Park fields 9 and 10
Summary
Council approved design and construction agreements for turf replacement at Family Sports Park fields 9 and 10: a design/coordination agreement with Millennium Professional Services and a construction contract not to exceed $2,970,000 with a $290,000 contingency.
The O'Fallon City Council on Nov. 17 approved two resolutions to move forward with turf replacement at Family Sports Park for fields 9 and 10.
Council authorized a design, planning and construction-coordination agreement with Millennium Professional Services to support the project, then approved a construction contract with the firm read into the record as Burnham and Johnson (speaker corrected mid-reading) for turf installation and replacement at a not-to-exceed construction amount of $2,970,000 and a contingency of $290,000. Councilmembers confirmed the championship field referenced in discussion is Field Number 2.
During discussion Councilmember(s) suggested the city explore private sponsorships and partnerships—citing examples where businesses sponsor entire parks—to offset costs or add community ties. The design and construction resolutions passed on roll call votes.
Project funding and schedule details were not read into the record during the motions; staff said the design agreement and construction contract are intended to deliver completed turf fields with contingency for unanticipated costs. The council’s approval moves the project into procurement/construction coordination and obligates staff to finalize timeline and contracting details.
