The Project Manager has determined that Big Ben Construction Co. holds a valid
Contractor's License, has checked references and reviewed the bid. The City Attorney
will complete a review of the required bonds and insurance certificates. Construction of
the project should begin in early January 2000. Completion of the project is estimated to
be May 15, 2000.
Following the bid opening, it was determined that the original appropriation of $545,000
was inadequate to complete the project. The original appropriation was determined in
June 1998. Since that time, the scope of work has significantly changed to include
additional amenities such as the band shell picnic shelter, improved tot lot equipment,
additional renovations to the Senior Center, and significant additional requirements for
ADA compliance.
The expenses to date total $64,195.00, which included Architectural, Engineering and
preparation of Construction Documents.

provision for the installation and constmction of new public improvements help meet the
requirements of delivering adequate park and recreation, facilities to the community of
Tustin.
