Page 2 of 3 the contractor to “value engineer” the bid alternates, the City Council awarded an additional construction contingency of $250,600 to construct the bid alternates. DISCUSSION The contractor has worked with the city to minimize unforeseen construction costs and has also been able to install additional items not included in the contract award, including electrical accommodations for holiday and event lighting along the new trail, dedicated lighting controls for the flagpole lighting, and replacement of a previously damaged sidewalk on Neal Street. The contractor has completed $912,054 of the construction work, including the approved change orders for the above items, the Delucchi Park improvements, and the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), with $514,900 remaining in the contract. The Lions Wayside Park improvements are nearing completion with the turf installed in mid- April, the bandstand installation started in late April, and the Delucchi Park improvements now under construction. Staff and the contractor expect that the remaining construction changes, totaling approximately $45,000, as well as the lawn conversion at the Firehouse Arts Center, trail through the 4363 First Street property, 24-stall parking lot and parking lot connection (with associated landscape and hardscape improvements), and a brick fascia for the existing Chan Henderson Bandstand, totaling approximately $240,000, could be combined and constructed with the remaining construction contingency of $213,092 if the City Council approves the use of the remaining fund balance of $72,860. The proposed schedule for the project remains the same, with the construction of Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks anticipated to be completed by early July. However, the lawn conversion, trail, and parking lot and parking connection at 4363 First Street are expected to be completed later in the summer. EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY Approval of this action advances the Climate Action Plan (CAP 2.0) in Transportation and Land Use by promoting an effective alternative transportation system with walking and bicycling and providing greater park accessibility for all users. OUTREACH During the outreach for the master plan update, the feedback received from the public regarding the use of the 4363 First Street property was to provide a balance of parking and recreation. The proposed improvements include additional parking, a trail, and landscaping to provide that balance. The trail, parking lot, and landscape will provide a finished look for the park project while still providing an opportunity for future improvements to fully address public outreach priorities once funding is available. The conceptual plan was presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission on May 8 and received positive feedback. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this action advances the Citywide ONE Pleasanton strategic plan goal of Investing in Our Environment, Strategy 1 – Implement the four-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to complete design and construction of budgeted capital projects, and Strategy 7 – Continue to invest in parks, bicycle, and pedestrian infrastructure, and public art to improve traffic safety, promote climate resilience, and increase equitable access to cultural and recreational opportunities.
