For City Council Meeting [June 8, 2021]
TO: Honorable City Council
APPROVAL: Sean Grayson, Acting City Manager
FROM: Michael Tahan, Interim Public Works Director
Title
Request City Council to Approve a Services Agreement with Judge Netting Inc. of Garden Grove, CA in the amount of $19,900 for Replacement of the Outfield Baseball Netting at Frisbie Park.
Body
BACKGROUND
During the planning stages of the SR-210 freeway in 2007, the need for a protective net along the northern side of Frisbie Park was identified to prevent flying baseballs onto the freeway area. Due to a construction oversite and the beginning of the winter baseball activities accelerated the need to complete the netting installation in an expedient manner. Prior to the opening of the freeway, notification was provided to SANBAG and the City that the opening of the freeway would be delayed unless a solution was found.
On September 4, 2007, City Council ratified findings of an emergency for the installation of protective netting at Frisbie Park as a solution to prevent baseballs from landing on the freeway. Judge Netting Co., of Costa Mesa was contacted to supply the material, labor and equipment needed to install 882 linear feet of 40 feet high netting connected to the top of the existing perimeter fence.
Over the years the netting has deteriorated and now has holes where a ball can penetrate the netting. A support cable has also broken, requiring the full replacement of the netting and necessary hardware.
