RE: Agenda Item—Informational Presentation
As you are aware,the Council's Committee on Budget and Fiscal Oversight met several times on
developing conceptual recommendations on the Proposed Fiscal Year 2021-2025 Capital
Improvement Program for presentation to the Honorable Town Council for their review and
adoption at Tuesday's March 10th Town Council Meeting.
Proposed Conceptual recommendation#4 is as follows:
➢ Regarding the FYI proposed loan order for$900,000 for the Filippello Park field lights and
scoreboard upgrades,which went out to bid in 2019 without first having an informational
presentation to the Town Council:
• Recommend updating the loan order estimate from$900,000 to $1,320,825 to match the
low bid plus CDM Smith fees and contingency.
•Recommend proceeding with the loan order after making an informational presentation
to the Town Council including the review of plans and specifications.
I
As a follow-up and for background purposes, attached please find a joint memorandum from Steven
Magoon;Director of Community Development and Planning/Assistant Town Manager and
Thomas J. Tracy, Town Auditor/Assistant Town Manager for Finance regarding the Filippello Park
field lights and scoreboard project.
Given all of the above, I respectfully request an Informational Presentation on the Filippello Park
field lights and scoreboard project be placed on the March 10, 2020 Town Council Agenda. The
Informational Presentation will be given by Glen Howard, CDM Smith.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

RE: Filippello Park Field Lights and Scoreboard
As you are aware,the Town has had the Filippello Park Field Lights on the Capital Improvement Plan(CIP)
due to issues with the lights and ballast, lack of consistent functionality, and lighting levels. Originally,
within the FY 2017—FY 2021 CIP,the Filippello Park Field Lights were listed for the field on Grove St. side
only with an estimated cost of$525,000 and slotted for FY 18.
In the FY 2018 - FY 2022 CIP the Field Lights at Filippello Park was changed to include the fields for both the
Arlington St. side and the Grove St. side in order to increase capacity and to help satisfy the use requirement of
the Town's users. The amount was also changed to an estimated$900,000 but the project remained slotted for
FY 18.
CDM Smith did provide the Town with an updated cost estimate of$1,319,831 in November of 2018.
Unfortunately,the FY 2020—FY 2024 CIP was not updated to reflect this new estimate.
As you are also aware,the Honorable Town Council adopted twenty-nine (29) conceptual recommendations on
the FY 2020—FY 2024 CIP with recommendation#4 reading as follows:
Proceed with the FY 18 proposed loan order for$900,000 for the Filippello Park field lights and
scoreboard upgrades, subject to the condition that the Recreation Department shall hold community
meetings to develop a design proposal and have one or more informational presentations to the Town
Council
There were 3 community/public meetings to discuss this project. The meeting dates were as follows:
November 16, 2017, September 24, 2018, and July 23, 2019. Each meeting was well attended and a
number of concerns were discussed, mostly regarding field use and parking impacts. The neighbors who
live on Arlington, Berkeley, and Clarendon Streets were very vocal about the impacts that the users of the
park have on their daily routines. The biggest impact had to do with parking in Glen Circle and on
Arlington Street. Also, a number of concerns regarding late night impacts from adult users who were not
sensitive to the residents of the area, and the condition of the fence enclosing the park.
1 1 P a g e
There also were concerns expressed about the additional lighting being proposed, but this was focused on
it increasing the use of the park and exacerbating the parking and other issues. There also was some
concern expressed about light levels. There was a presentation from MUSCO regarding their design,
which would have minimal impact on the surrounding neighborhood. The Town committed to apply for
Dark Sky Compliance and to ensure that project would comply with these standards.
As a result of these meetings and discussions, the Council ultimately decided to proceed with the closing
of the gate adjacent to Glenn Circle in order to minimize the parking impacts on the adjoining residential
neighborhood.
During the Fall of 2019,the Town issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB)which included two add alternates. The
first add alternate was for replacing wires for the walkway lights. The second add alternate was for replacing
walkway lighting fixtures with LED lights. Unfortunately,there was no informational presentation in front of
the Town Council prior to the Town issuing the IFB.
The Town received 6 responses to the IFB. Attached is a spreadsheet indicating the six firms and their bid
amounts. As you can see,the bid proposals range from approximately $1,200,000 to $1,760,000. CDM Smith
has provided a contract administration proposal fee of$65,300 and a contingency of at least 5% should be
included. The low bidder,Daigle Construction,has agreed to hold their bid price until April 15, 2020.
In response to the Community meetings and our commitment to do so,the Town applied for Dark Sky
certification for the design of this project. Please see the attached certification form indicating that the Town
has achieved initial certification. Please be advised that phase 2/final certification entails an on-site visitation
once the project is completed.
The project includes fencing replacement of the back stop and in front of the player's dugouts. It does not
include any fencing replacement for the exterior tall fencing from Arlington St. to behind the building where the
public bathrooms are located. The Town did receive an estimate of approximately $36,000 for this replacement
and installation but it did not include the extensive tree work that would likely be needed to remove the existing
fence. It is our recommendation that before moving forward on any fence replacement and tree work,the Town
should wait until a new Forestry Supervisor/Tree Warden is on board and has the opportunity to review this
area.
i
On February 28t" a meeting was held to review the lighting levels for both sides of the park. Present at this
meeting were three representatives from CDM Smith, a representative from MUSCO Lighting,the Recreation
Director,the both of us as well as the President and Vice President of the Town Council. The main point of
discussion was in regards to the lighting levels in the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) standards (see
attached handout from the meeting)which considers the User Groups of this field as it relates to 1) Types of
Sports, 2)Players Skill and Performance, 3) Spectators, and 4) Classification of Play.
The recommendation for lighting the field on the Grove St. side of Filippello Park is for a class three level field
which would mean 50 foot candles for the baseball/softball infield area and 30 foot candles for the rest of the
field. This is the lighting level that was included in the bid specifications.
2 1 P a g e
In regards to lighting the field on the Arlington St side of Filippello Park,be advised that the bid specifications
were written to have the field lighted at 30 foot candles. This was done because at the time the bid
specifications were being written, it was felt that the level of field was a class 3 field. At the February 28th
meeting, discussion took place on whether or not this field was a class 3 field or a class 4 field. A class 4 field
would mean that 20 foot candles could be used to light the field.
Given that the Town is embarking upon a very aggressive schedule on rebuilding our school buildings, and that
some of the adjacent playing fields will be significantly impacted, it our recommendation that we proceed with
an informational presentation and funding/awarding of the contract. Therefore,we respectfully request that an
informational presentation by CDM Smith(see attached power point presentation)be placed on the March 10,
2020 Town Council Agenda.
