DATE: July 7, 1997
SUBJECT: Stormwater Drainage
for the tennis courts at
Dante Fascell Park
As you know, when it rains on the tennis courts at Dante Fascell Park, standing water will
accumulate on the courts due to inadequate drainage. This problem is most pronounced
at the northern and southern edges of the tennis, but standing water will also accumulate
along the eastern and western edges as well. This is an unacceptable condition since the
standing water poses a slipping hazard to players and will cause the accelerated
deterioration of the clay courts. The deterioration will force the City to resurface the
courts more frequently.
The primary reason for the standing water on the courts is the difference in elevation
between the col:lrt surface and the adjacent landscaped and sodded areas which are at a
higher elevation. As a result, rainwater has no where to drain; the stormwater stays on
the courts until it evaporates, or until it is absorbed by the court clay.
There are two solutions for this problem ... The "low-tech" solution would be to excavate a
channeVgutter around the perimeter of the tennis courts facility. This earthen channel
would provide an area of lower elevation for stonnwater to drain into, and allow for
stormwater to infiltrate into the subsurface. The gutter solution has the advantage of low
initial costs to install Gust the excavation and re-sodding expenses), but has significant
disadvantages as well; the gutters could become unsightly "mud holes" during the rainy
season. It is for this reason that the "low tech" solution is not recommended.
The other solution is to install a formal stormwater water collection and drainage system.
Such a system would probably include trench drains located between the courts to collect
the water, underground conduits to carry the stormwater to a pre-treatment structure to
remove clay particles from the water, and underground stormwater exfiltration trenches.
It would be necessary to perform an engineering study and elevation survey before costs
for such a system can be determined. The survey can be performed by Vera & Associates
(a firm currently under contract with the City) for approximately $1,100. The
engineering study can be performed by C3TS (the firm handling the re-development of
Sunset Drive, and who is also preparing a Stormwater Management Program for the City)
for $3,050. Thus, the total initial costs to determine actual construction and long-term
maintenance costs would be $4,150.

in connection with the above referenced property (hereinafter called the "Project"). The Basic
Services proposed to be provided by this firm consist of design, permitting and construction
management of. drainage improvements to alleviate localized ponding of stonnwater around
existing tennis courts which occurs following storm events. The type and size of drainage
improvements required for the site will be dependent on the results of field percolation testing. and
topographic surveying, which are included in our Scope of Work. If percolation testing has been
performed in the past at this site and reports could be made available to us, then additional field
testing may not be necessary. Additionally, if topographic survey infonnation is available for the
property, surveying may not be necessary.
The Total Fee Amount proposed for our Basic Services is $4,800, which includes field testing and
surveying as set forth in the attached Scope of Work. We would expect to start our services
promptly after receipt of your acceptance of this Proposal and to complete the design phase of
our services within forty-five (45) days from receipt of an Authorization to Proceed. If there are
protracted delays for reasons beyond our control, if construction is not started within six (6)
months after completion of our final Drawings and Specifications, or if construction is not
completed within one (1) year, we would expect to negotiate with you an equitable adjustment-of
our compensation taking into consideration the impact of such delay.

Engineering nspector Stormwater Drainage
Attached is an extra copy of that memo Fernando and I developed discussing the
stormwater drainage problems at the Dante Fascell Tennis Courts.
Fernando and I have also reviewed the proposal from VSN Engineering, Inc., to prepare
stormwater drainage plans for the tennis facility. When questioned, Mr. Rodolfo Vargas-
Fournier, P.E., of VSN admitted that he had not anticipated the special problems
associated with clay tennis courts. However, he did say that he would research this issue
and that the plans submitted would be appropriate for the job. As long as our
authorization contract with VSN stipulates that this job is "lump sum" billing and that
final payment cannot be given until the plans are approved by the City's Building
Department (i.e., Peter Iglesias) and Public Works Department, then we should be
protected in case the first set of plans (or subsequent plans) are inappropriate for clay
courts.
On another issue, I have attached a copy of DERM's Best Management Practices for golf
courses (the closest they have to public parks). Please give these to Mr. Doug Baker to
review. I am preparing a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
report for submittal to DERM and the EPA, and would like to say that the City's use of
pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizer is in accordance with these Best Management
Practices.
Thanks. Please call if you have any questions.

Description of Project
The work for this project has included civil
engineering design services for various projects
Within this facility such as:
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM to include design, plans
preparation, regulatory approvals and construction
inspections for a system to serve a 120 acre Ash Landfill
and a 40 acre trash processing plant. This project had to
be designed to meet the requirements of an FDEP
Settlement Agreement mandating strict compliance with
water quality and quantity requirements. Some the
features included a 22 acre stormwater retention pond
with 8 acres of recreated wetlands, separate treatment
systems for the 40 Acre Plant which, depending on the
levels of potential contamination varied from french
drain systems to clay lined storm water conveyance swales
to pump systems for storage at remote lined surge ponds
with capabilities of re-cycling of stormwater into
the plant to be used as cooling tower make-up water to
supplement current well water use.

Description of Project
Services for this project included a detailed study
of the flows generated at the 80 Acre Ash Landfill
and 40 Acre trash processing facilities being
served by this Pump Station. This upgrade was
a requirement of an FDEP Settlement agreement.
Design for the project had to meet strict
discharge limitations into MDWASD's force main
system. For that reason, and due to the very
large leachate flows from large areas subject to
direct rainfall, a discharge attenuation system
capable of reducing the peak discharge rates as we]
as managing the 100 year rainfall volumes generated
at the site had to be designed.
Design included an 800,000 gallon double containment
leachate storage tank, a system of three 1,000 gpm
self priming tank inflow pumps, two 225 gpm dry pit
tank discharge pumps and upgrading two existing
self priming pumps to act as the system tank by-pas~
Design included a gravity collection system, a forcE
