-Janua~ 5, 2004 Subject Final Acceptance - Spinas Park Play Area Renovation Project Recommendation Accept, by motion, the Spinas Park Play Area Renovation Project, and authorize the release of bonds and retention. Background On July 14, 2003, the City Council accepted the bids and authorized the execution of a construction agreement with Scape, Inc. of Half Moon Bay, California, for the Spinas Park Play Area Renovation Project, in the amount of $511,692.02. The project is located at the corner of Second Street and Bay Road adjacent to the current location of the new Fire Station No. 11, and covers the vacant parcel left of the relocation of the same fire station. The park design was done by Moore, lacofano and Goltsman (MIG), who also successfully designed Stafford, Stulsaft & Maddux Parks. The park was completely renovated by furnishing and installing a new prefabricated restroom structure, new sanitary sewer, storm water, & irrigation systems, new EI.ayground safety surfaces, construction of new concrete walkway, sand play mound features, new landscaping elements, new site furnishings, planting of new plant materials, new safety fence, and new playground equipment. The existing composite play structure was also renovated to bring it up to current codes. The new attraction at the renovated park is the 4-nozzle water play area. Similar features proved to be very successful at Stafford and Stulsaft Parks. The project was awarded to Scape, Inc. of Half Moon Bay, California, for their Base Bid of $511,692.02. A total of two Change Orders were issued during the construction of the project to take care of unforeseen conditions and quantity adjustments. The Change Orders total $32,000.91, which is 6.25% above the bid. Alternatives The alternative is to delay acceptance (and the public use) to address any concerns of the City Council. If City Council accepts this project, staff will move forward to close out the project and open the facility for public use. The material and performance bonds will be reduced as appropriate, and the retention monies will be paid to the Contractor accordingly.
