Project Scope

In May 2011, the City Council approved installation of artificial turf at the multi-purpose field located on the Edison Elementary School property. The project was completed in 2014. Now, the Pacific Park field needs a major overhaul. The turf surface needs to be replaced, the rubber infill is low, and a compaction study is needed to determine if the underlying base is still in good condition.  Beyond the turf renovation, other necessary site improvements include addressing stormwater runoff issues, decomposed granite area, and seating, and increasing the height of the northern fence off Vine St.

The City extended a contract to Verde Design, Inc. to provide design and construction administration services for the project in May 2024. A kick-off meeting was held on June 10, 2024, on-site at the multi-purpose field with CSP and GUSD staff in attendance to discuss project goals, standards, and requirements.  

Budget

The current project budget in FY 2023-24 included $276,034 for design of the replacement in CIP funds. 

Status Update

Verde Design has completed a Conceptual Master Plan for the Project. Staff met with Plan Check staff in January 2025 to discuss phasing turf replacement, focusing first on replacing the turf carpet and stormwater improvements in an expedited manner (considering degraded condition of the field).  It’s anticipated that the turf replacement plans and specs can be completed in the next couple of weeks and streamlined permitting to start replacement by Spring/Summer 2025. A second phase of the project will address accessibility and landscape issues around the site, which will be completed soon after.
