RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the final plans and specifications and authorize the publication of a notice inviting bids for Basketball Court Replacement at Blair Hills Park and Culver West Alexander Park, PZ-640.
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION
In July 2022, Public Works issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to the City Council approved list of on-call civil engineering firms for engineering design services for basketball court replacement at Blair Hills Park and Culver West Alexander Park to include topographic survey, demo, drainage, grading, and new PCC court construction plans. The city received two proposals as a result of the RFP. After receiving and reviewing the proposals, Kreuzer Consulting Group (KCG) was the lowest bid and was issued a Notice to Proceed on October 6, 2022, for engineering design services.
The design has been completed, reviewed, and approved by Public Works Department and Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department staff. The new basketball courts will replace the existing asphalt pavement courts with PCC concrete material, allowing for a longer life span of the courts. Additionally, the Blair Hills Court will be reconstructed to provide positive drainage from the adjacent slope during rain events, which will also help the court’s life span. Both courts are proposed to use colored concrete to beautify public amenities.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Funds in the amount of $224,014 are included in the Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 in Capital Improvement Program project PZ640. Based on the final plans, the estimated project cost is $322,500.
The construction bids may be higher than estimated due to current inflationary conditions in the marketplace. The project specifications shall be structured so that the Blair Hills Park basketball court replacement will be the primary scope of work. The Culver West Alexander Park basketball court replacement will be a deletable bid item. Once staff receives bids, an evaluation of the need for additional funding will be made and presented to Council.
