Question: What would be the CIP savings if the Chinquapin field project was descoped to just improve (lining/even) of the natural fields in Chinquapin park? (Councilman Chapman)
Response:
The Chinquapin Field project is included in the Proposed FY 2027 – FY 2036 CIP, with funding totaling $861,000 scheduled for FY 2032. The project as currently planned would re-grade the existing open space in the center of the Chinquapin loop to create one large multi-purpose field for high school and community use.
If the scope were reduced to include only laser grading, soil enhancements, sodding, irrigation adjustments, and field striping, the estimated cost would be approximately $434,000, resulting in potential savings of about $427,000.
