2. AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to solicit bids to be received on or about August 18, 2015, and issue bid addenda, as needed, for clarification of the bid documents, provided the involved changes do not significantly increase the construction cost estimate.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

3. DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to publish, at least 14 calendar days before the bid opening date, the Notice to Contractors in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22037, inviting bids for this project.

4. DIRECT the Public Works Director, or designee, to send notices by email or fax and by U.S. Mail to the construction trade journals specified in Public Contract Code Section 22036 at least 15 calendar days before the bid opening.

FISCAL IMPACT:

75% East Bay Regional Park District Measure WW Local Grant Program and 25% Park Dedication Funds.

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 $311,000.00 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.

Approved by voters in 2008, Measure WW allocated grant funds to local parks for improvements. Special Districts staff met with the Rodeo Municipal Advisory Committee and CSA R-10 Advisory Committee and the John Swett Unified School District to develop the proposed improvements at Lefty Gomez Park. The improvements include installing seating in the ballfield walkway area impacted by tree roots, adding drinking fountains, installing large group BBQs and picnic tables, providing new ground surface to improve accessibility, construction of a concession booth that includes a restroom, announcer’s stand, kitchen and extra storage, repair of ballfield entry gate, replacement of bleachers, installing trash cans in picnic and concession areas, and storm drain, water and sewer improvements.

The Board found this project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 1(d) Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Section 15301(d) of the CEQA Guideline during the March 12, 2013 board meeting.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this project is not approved, the grant funds would be diverted to another agency project and this project would not be constructed.
