SUBJECT: Authorization to Advertise for Receipt of Bids for the
Construction of a Community Building and Gymnasium at
Arroyo Vista Community Park
OVERVIEW
This requests authorization to advertise for receipt of bids for
the construction of the subject project.
BACKGROUND
The City solicited bids for the subject project on two prior
occasions. Both times the amount of the bids exceeded the funds
available to construct the project. The City Council then referred
the matter to the Public Works, Facilities and Solid Waste
Committee (Mayor Pro tem Montgomery and Councilmember Wozniak) to
evaluate options for the re- design of the building to reduce costs.
DISCUSSION
A. Design Changes
The Committee met with the project architect to discuss a number
of options regarding the possible redesign of the building to
lower overall project cost. The options discussed included the
following:
• deletion of the Community Building;
• deletion of a portion of the Community Building;
• changing the construction materials form the Community
Building from steel /masonry to wood frame /stucco;
• re- designing the roof;
• deleting the masonry arches;
• deletion of the air conditioning in the gym;
• deleting and /or downgrading the bleachers; and,
• downgrading a number of systems, including the gym floor,
lighting fixtures.

After considerable discussion, the Committee concluded that the
most prudent approach would be to cut cost in a way which would
require a very limit amount of redesign. The Committee
recommended that the project be readvertised with the following
changes:
• delete portions of the covered walkway beyond the immediate
building perimeter; and,
• replace the rubber flooring material surrounding the gym
floor with vinyl.
B. Fiscal Impact
The Architect's estimate for the construction of the project as
redesigned is $1,750,000 to 1,800,000.
