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 $251,000.00 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. District I staff and community stakeholders in the San Pablo area recommended allocation of the Measure WW funds to Montalvin and MonTara Bay Parks for improvements. On October 3, 2013, County staff reported to the Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee (TWIC) with a recommendation for this project in CSA M-17 (San Pablo). Improvements for Montalvin Park will consist of renovation and replacement of the playground, asphalt paths, and picnic tables and chairs. Montalvin Park is experiencing erosion along the eastern slope leading to the park and the parking lot is experiencing flooding. The project will address the erosion and flooding issues with erosion control plantings, minor grading, a drainage swale, and renovation of the existing drainage system. Three (3) trees will also be planted near the picnic tables for shade. Improvements for MonTara Bay Park will consist of rehabilitation of a trash enclosure adjacent to the community center, replacement of existing landscaping, replacement of concrete walkway from the parking lot to the park for ADA access, storm drain lines, and baseball field drainage and irrigation.

The Board found this project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 2 Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15302 of the CEQA Guideline during the February 11, 2014 board meeting.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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