Woodland Sports Park, Community Center, and Dog Park

The City of Woodland completed construction of their new sports park, dog park, and community and senior center in 2009.

Sports Park Phase 1 Project –

Included four synthetic multi-use soccer/softball fields, a separate synthetic soccer field, lighting for the existing parking, site furnishings, landscaping, and a portable restroom facility.

Community & Senior Center, Phase 2 –

Involved the addition of a 7,000 square foot building for dance, aerobics and fitness, and additional parking. The building was constructed of steel columns with a thin brick veneer. The electrical and mechanical systems tied into the existing building, with a new fire riser being installed for the addition.

Woodland Dog Park –

Consisted of a new two-acre dog park providing areas for both large and small dogs, ADA compliant picnic areas, multi-use (canine and human) drinking fountains, and landscaping.

As the City’s representative, Blackburn provided construction management services to oversee construction progress and quality. Our services included:

• constructability review of bid documents,
• construction schedule review and analysis,
• submittal, RFI, and change order management,
• construction inspection,
• materials testing,
• special inspection, and
• contract administration.

During construction, the contractor realized their over-excavation for the building additions could weaken the existing building foundation. To mitigate potential re-design costs and construction delays, Blackburn provided recommendations for chemical treatment of the soil that allowed the contractor to reduce their over-excavation depth.
