MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Community Services Department ,
DATE: February 25 , 1987
SUBJECT: GRIFFIN SENIOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS - Award of Contract
BACKGROUND
At their December 5 , 1986 meeting, City Council requested that
upon completion of the formal bid phase for this project , that
the Parks and Recreation Commission review the scope of the project
and reconsider the additions of a gazebo and one additional
drinking fountain to the originally proposed and approved project.
The original scope of this project included over 240 lineal foot
of concrete curbing for the play area plus sidewalks , picnic benches
and pads (7) , trash receptacles with pads (3) and a softball
backstop . As Council may recall the addition of the Gazebo and
drinking fountain plus the revised 10% contingency figure raised
the bid portion of this project from $28 , 000 to approximately
$39 , 000 .
Staff at the December 5 , 1986 meeting had incorrectly indicated
that there was only $30 , 000 available for this project instead of
the $60 , 000 available. Thirty thousand of this was from Park
Improvement Funds that were budgeted from the Fiscal Year 86/87 .
The additional $30 , 000 is to be received from Griffin Homes
around April of this year. These monies are in lieu of installing
$10 , 000 in park amenities and $20 , 000 for a concrete basketball
court. These funds are part of Griffins obligation under RPD
1041 and 1042 . Payment is to be made upon issurance of the
first occupancy permit for Tract 3963 .

Of this $60 , 000 available approximately $12 , 000 has been utilized
Lo purchase(includes installation cost) the specialized play equipment
which needed to be specially constructed. The play equipment was
ordered per its approval by the Parks and Recreation Commission at their
February 19 , 1986 meeting and again on N'erbruary 12 , 1987 . By the
City ordering the play equipment and having it installed, staff
estimated we would save the overhead costs the General Contractor
would add on if they were to handle this item. That amount could
be as much as 5% of the projects cost. Also,part of this $60 , 000
is obligated to fund $2 , 300 in minor landscaping and irrigation
improvements to be handled under our existing Park Maintenance
Agreement with Turf Pro. Staff recommended that Turf Pro do this
portion of the project based upon their knowledge of the existing
system. This will expedite the projects completion. This phase
can be started during the period of time the bid documents are
being processed.
On January 20 , 1987 , sealed bids from two contractors were
received and opened for the Griffin Senior Park Improvements .
The bids received are as follows :
J .F. Contractors $35 , 000 . 00
BLM Constructors $28, 200 . 00
Staff has had the bids reviewed by R.W. Graham and Associates to
verify their accurancy. BLM' s references were also contacted.
Staff finds that the costs are inline and that BLM is a compentent
contractor.
In summary there is a total of $60 , 000 appropriated for this
project. Of the total $12 , 000 is committed to the purchase of
the specialized play equipment; 2 , 300 to the minor irrigation and
landscaping phase; $28 , 200 is recommended to be awarded to BLM
for all concrete work, picnic tables , trash recepticles and
softball backstop. This totals $42 , 500 for the Griffin Senior
Park Improvements leaving a balance of $17 , 500 to be used for the
proposed additions of a gazebo and drinking fountain. As previously
indicated the gazebo has been estimated to cost approximatley
$5 , 000 and the drinking fountain approximately $1 . 500 . Again,
neither of these two items were included in the bid phase, however,
their costs were included in staff' s December 5 report raising the
projects estimated cost for the project to an estimated $39 , 000 .
