Berkshire Baseball Club

Description

Brief Overview:

The Forino Company will be assisting the Berkshire Baseball Club by providing engineering design services, preparing land development plans and assisting the Club in obtaining necessary local, state and federal permits for the construction of the improvements. The center piece of the various design elements of the improvements is the design of a proposed 30’ high wall in the left field of Charlie Wagner field which will replicate Fenway Park’s “Green Monster”. In addition to the replica wall, grading and stormwater management designs will be prepared to modify outfield and playing area dimensions in an effort to capture the spirit of Boston’s Fenway Park. Additional design elements associated with the improvements include miscellaneous grading design for walking paths, press boxes and seating areas, siting of addition accessory use buildings and new fences, coordination of lighting and scoreboard improvements, design modifications to the existing stormwater management system, and preparation of erosion and sediment control plans. In addition to the design services, the Forino Company will also assist Berkshire Baseball Club in obtaining Land Development Approval from the local municipal governing body as well as coordination with the Club for necessary state and federal permits associated with stormwater management for the site improvements. Design of improvements and permitting will be completed in late summer of 2013 with the construction of the first phase of improvements set to begin in October of 2013. Additional construction phases will be taking place over the next 6 to 7 years with the completion of all proposed improvements to the facility completed by the end of 2020.
