FISCAL IMPACT:

100% East Bay Regional Park District Measure WW Local Grant Program.

BACKGROUND:

Plans and specifications for the project have been prepared for the Public Works Department by Stantec Architecture, Inc. and filed with the Clerk of the Board by the Public Works Director. The construction cost estimate is $581,000.00 and the general prevailing wage rates are on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and will be the minimum rates paid on this project.

Voter-approved Measure WW allocated grant funds to local parks for improvements. Special Districts met with the Alamo Municipal Advisory Committee to develop the proposed improvements at Livorna Park. The improvements include removal of existing volleyball court, modifying existing drainage facilities, replacing pedestrian path near the bocce court to be ADA compliant, installing new bocce court, installing new shade structure, installing new benches, tables and chairs, installing additional irrigation and landscaping.

The Board found this project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 2(c) Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Section 15302(c) of the CEQA Guideline during the November 5, 2013 board meeting.
