SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO
ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR CENTENNIAL PARK ENTRY
PLAYGROUNDS AND LAUREL GLEN PARK PAR COURSE
RENOVATIONS (CIP No. 20075)
SUMMARY:
This project includes the purchase and installation of playground equipment and ADA
required playground surfacing at the four entries to Centennial Park as well as new
fitness station equipment at Laurel Glen Park.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 14 -64, approving
specifications for the renovation of the entry playgrounds at Centennial Park and the
fitness 'par course' stations at Laurel Glen Park (CIP No. 20075) and authorizing the
City Clerk to advertise for bids.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Centennial Park Entry Playgrounds and Laurel Glen Par Course Renovations project
is included in the Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2014 -2015 and adequate
funding is available in Park Development Fund 131. The approved Capital Improvement
Budget for this project is $381,000 and the current engineer's estimate is $345,000.
CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
This project advances Goal A of the City of Tustin Strategic Plan regarding Economic and
Neighborhood Development by making improvements to existing parks to expand
recreational activities.
BACKGROUND:
The playground equipment at the four entries to Centennial Park (14722 Devonshire
Avenue) is over 20 years old and in need of replacement due to its poor condition and
the fact that many of the pieces are no longer playground safety compliant. The current
'par course' fitness equipment at Laurel Glen Park dates back to the opening of the park
in 1992 and much of it is broken and unusable. The Community Services Commission
has identified these two park upgrades as next in line on their seven -year CIP Priority
List.
The four new Centennial Park entry playgrounds will feature an outdoor club house
theme and include areas for both 2 -5 year olds and 5 -12 year olds. These areas will
also include both rubber and engineered wood fiber playground surfacing and entry
ramps as required for ADA compliance. The Laurel Glen par course renovation will
feature five new outdoor fitness stations that will provide a wider variety of equipment
that can be used for stretching, balance, and strength building exercises.
