Background and Analysis:
The ballfields at Yauger Park have been in service since the early 1980s. During their 40-year lifespan, few improvements have been made to update the primary recreation feature at this West Olympia community park. The existing backstops are original, and the fields, dugouts, and spectator areas are not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for accessibility.
The proposed Yauger Park Field Renovations project will address replacement of the backstop structures, dugouts, and associated hardscape as identified in the Capital Facilities Plan. These asset deficiencies were identified through the Department's Capital Asset Management Program. Ballfields make up the largest maintenance need in the system with just over $3M in deferred maintenance, out of a total $7.2M systemwide.
The project was originally scheduled to be completed in 2021. Schedule delays with consultants and the equipment vendor during the pandemic pushed the project to 2022. The City placed a purchase order for the backstops and dugouts from Beacon Athletics in 2021 to hold pricing. The construction contract will include the installation of the netted backstop systems, new fencing, concrete retaining walls and pole foundations, steel dugout construction, and concrete ADA compliant ramps and spectator areas.
