body
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Salas Park parking lot was originally constructed in 1984 and included 182 parking stalls. The project also included seven post top area lights along the west side of the parking lot and two double-sided street lights along Stockton Street. In 2013, the City modified the parking lot to create six Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible parking stalls, which reduced the total number of stalls to 179.
Since its original construction nearly 40 years ago, the parking lot’s pavement had slowly deteriorated and numerous sections of curb had been broken and/or removed. The three driveways off Stockton Street were not ADA compliant, and the lighting within the parking lot was not adequate.
This project installed new curbing, pavement, parking lot lighting, and ADA compliant driveway approaches along Stockton Street. Additionally, this project converted the existing post top lights to brighter and more energy efficient LED lights. The existing accessible parking stalls remained; however, the striping was redone with the rest of the parking lot.
Council approved the plans, specification, and advertisement for bids on December 7, 2022, and awarded the contract on May 3, 2023. Per an agreement with the Boosters of Boys and Girls Sports (B.O.B.S.), the contractor started work on June 19, 2023. The contract was completed on schedule and in substantial conformance with the specifications approved by City Council. The original contract price was $631,170 and the final contract price was $660,095. The increase in the contract was due to the City requesting additional (out of scope) work, including; 6” diameter irrigation sleeves under each driveway, two additional restroom sewer lateral repairs, additional sidewalk replacement, irrigation relocation, soil over-excavation, and additional fire lane striping. Photos of the project are included in Exhibit A.
Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineer will file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder’s office. The notice serves to notify vendors and subcontractors that the project is complete and begins their 30-day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to withhold payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute.
STRATEGIC VISION:
6C. Parks: Develop & maintain sports/recreational facilities for City & public use including an indoor sports facility.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project will have a minimal impact on total maintenance costs and will improve accessibility along the park frontage and safety within the parking lot.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
This project was funded by Parks Capital (43299000.77020) PKCP-22009
