6.1.C. - Page 2 <br /> The proposed agreement with RHAA will provide design development, public outreach, <br /> construction documents, bid and construction support, and construction administration <br /> services for the Mezes and Jardin de Ninos Parks Renovation Project. Community <br /> outreach in both the Mezes and Jardin de Ninos neighborhoods is planned to gather <br /> ideas, achieve consensus on improvements and to keep the community apprised of the <br /> progress of the design and construction. Approximately 60% of the cost of this <br /> agreement is for services related to the Mezes Park renovation and 40% for services <br /> related to the Jardin de Ninos Park renovation. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> Council may choose not to approve the design services agreement with RHAA, and <br /> direct staff to renegotiate the terms or select another consultant. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> Available funds total approximately $833,000 for the design and construction of <br /> improvements at both parks, which exceeds the estimated cost of design and <br /> construction of $752,524. Funds have been previously approved and appropriated in <br /> the Capital Projects Fund as Play Equipment Replacement Program which has an <br /> available balance of $27,000, Restroom Replacement Program which has a balance of <br /> $200,000, Jardin de Ninos which has a balance of $200,000, and Mezes Parks <br /> Renovation which has a balance of $406,000. Balances are approximate and as of <br /> August 30, 2011 <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br /> The proposed project is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality <br /> Act (CEQA) because it is limited to the repair and renovation of existing facilities. <br /> (CEQA Guidelines s. 15301, Existing Facilities) <br /> r <br /> , <br /> ��� <br /> S.
