Item 4a.– Study Session on Crestmoor Fields
Regarding the Stormwater basin, I’m still not clear where these new costs are coming from. During the original design process, the basin was part of the project and then was determined to be too small, so in a revised design the basin was enlarged, and the fields were made smaller and reoriented. I thought it was handled at that point and would please like staff to better explain during the study session why the current design is no longer adequate.
• RESPONSE: The original basin designed for the Crestmoor Residential Development Project was sized to treat some of the streets and the home sites. During planning of the soccer fields, it was discovered that the soccer fields could not be allowed to infiltrate and thus necessitated a basin.
Therefore, the original basin was enlarged to be able to treat the water from the soccer fields. The cost of the enlarged portion of the basin would need to be included in the Crestmoor Fields Project and in that agreement. Because the developer is scheduled to construct the basins prior to this coming storm season, the City and developer drafted separate agreements to facilitate having the larger basin built before the storm season.
• The original $200K was a planning estimate and did not include a 10% contingency ($25K) and 10% management fee ($25K) from the developer.
The other $55K is attributed to rising construction costs.
