PROJECT NO. CIP 01-628 COMMUNITY CENTER IMPROVEMENTS, COURTYARD & PAINTING - APPROVAL OF PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS & ESTIMATES
AND ADVERTISE FOR BIDS

 

Recommendation :

It is recommended that the City Council:

  1. Approve the plans, specifications, estimates, order the work and call for bids; and
  2. Instruct the City Clerk to post Notice Inviting Sealed Bids for said project.

Summary :

Staff requests that City Council approve the plans and specifications and authorize separate bidding procedures for reconstruction of the courtyard and painting of the building exterior since the scope of work and construction trades are distinctly different.

The general scope of work for reconstruction of the courtyard consists of clearing, grading, paving, site utilities, electrical service and lighting, concrete paving, concrete walls, concrete ramps, hand rails, landscape plating, automatic irrigation system, and other appurtenances.

The general scope of work for painting the building exterior consists of preparing and repairing surfaces of existing facilities plus furnishing and applying painting over building exterior.

On April 24, 2001, City Council approved the conceptual site plan for Project No. CIP 01-628 (formerly Project No. 99-627) Community Center Improvements – Courtyard & Painting and authorized the landscape architect, David Evans & Associates, to prepare plans, specifications, and estimates for bid. On June 12, 2001, City Council approved the color selection for painting the Community Center building.

The plans, specifications, and estimates have been approved by the Director of Public Works and are ready for bid. They are available in the Department of Public Works for review.

Fiscal Impact :

The engineer’s estimates for reconstruction of the courtyard and painting of the building exterior are $100,000 and $120,000, respectively. On August 9, 2000, the Department of Parks & Recreation, State of California approved a grant in the amount of $246,250 to renovate the Community Center, and these funds will be used to cover the cost of the proposed improvements.
