Construction Delayed Due to Failing Subgrade

Based on the testing results from last week, it has been determined that the failing subgrade must be replaced before court paving can be completed. This additional work requires a change order for the construction contract and includes:

• Removing more of the old asphalt surface;
• Removing weak soils from the subgrade; and
• Building a stronger base with new material.

Preparations for paving the courts will resume after the base is repaired. While this project was ahead of schedule earlier this month, the construction pause and the scope of the subgrade remediation unfortunately delay completion. Staff now anticipate opening the courts by early October. User groups have been notified that the facility will not be available for play in August as originally planned.

Staff are still finalizing the change order with DA Hogan and FieldTurf. The new project timeline and regular updates will be posted on Let’s Talk once construction can restart.
