BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
At the April 20, 1998 meeting, the Agency apProved plans and specifications and
authorized advertisement for bids for the rehabilitation of the restrooms at Frontier and
Pine Tree Parks. The Frontier project was originally bid in December 1996. Due to
insurance problems the project was canceled and re-bid With the Pinetree project.
Sealed bids for the combined projects were opened on July 7, 1998. Six (6) bids for
construction were received. Bids were as follows:
Contractor
Big Ben Construction
Irvine Engineering Corp.
West Coast Construction
TLS Consruction
AMD Construction
PRO Systems
Amount
$238,500
$258,110
$268,800
$315,513
$353,500
$434,451
The Project Manager determined that the contractor holds a valid contractor's license,
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 September after the completion of summer recreation programming. Completion of
the project should take place mid-December 1998.
On August 31, 1996, the Redevelopment Agency appropriated $26,400 in South Central
Project Area Set-Aside Funds for the renovation of the Frontier Park restroom facility.
The existing restroom facilities and adjacent hardscape will be demolished. A new
restroom facility with hardscape will be constructed in its place. The restroom building is
approximately 570 sq. ft. and consists of men's and women's rest rooms, utility room, and
concession/storage room. The Frontier Park project also includes a trellis shade structure
of approximately 670 sq. ft. Other work includes modifications to existing stairs,
handrails and walkways for ADA compliance. Landscape, irrigation, and grading
impacted by the construction will be' restored to existing conditions.
California Redevelopment Law (CRL) requires the use of any project area tax increment
to be used only within the project area boundaries. However, Section 33445 of the CRL
provides an exception when the Agency makes a finding that the use of these funds
outside the project area constitutes a benefit to the project area, and there are no other
funds available for said project° Both the Redevelopment Agency and the City Council
must declare the finding through the adoption of a resolution.

Given the lack of vacant land and limited parkland in the South Central Project Area, and
the location of Frontier Park within close proximity to the South Central Project Area,
improvements to the subject site and its rehabilitation for park programs is essential to the
implementation of the South Central Redevelopment Project. Significant upgrades in
park and recreation programming related to improvements in the facilities will provide
· additional services to more residents of the South Central Project Area.
The South Central Implementation Plan also specifically recommends a program to
provide recreational facilities for children, young adults and families. The South Central
Project Implementation Plan identifies in its specific implementation goals and
objectives, which relate to the improvements to Frontier Park for rehabilitation, as
follows: Upgrade substandard public infrastructure systems and public facilities, and
provide for the installation and construction of new public improvements to meet
requirements of existing and new development in the Project Area.
