Keene public works seeks contractor quote to fix Lisa Carver Park ballfield; lighting installation slated for late August
Summary
Public works presented a $16,880 contractor estimate to excavate and install a French drain in the Lisa Carver Park ballfield and said park lighting materials are expected mid-August with installation to follow in the third week of August.
Public works staff updated the board on planned improvements at Lisa Carver Park, including a contractor estimate of $16,880 to excavate one foot of the infield, install a French drain with corrugated pipe, add conditioned fill and make necessary connections to existing drainage. "About $16,880 to get that done just for the big field," a staff speaker said, and the contractor estimated they could start within a week and complete the field work in a few days once scheduled.
Staff also said the lighting project for the park is progressing: materials are projected to be delivered by mid-August with installation scheduled the following week (third week of August). The board discussed whether the ballfield work had been previously approved or allocated from that March’s $26,000 drainage approval; staff said some drainage work had been completed previously and that this contractor quote is for the remaining work. No formal vote occurred on contracting during the meeting; staff said they would use maintenance and repair funds or CIP budgeting as appropriate.
