BACKGROUND
This project will update and improve Mountain View Park on the east and west sides of Seco
Canyon Road. Identified updates and improvements include the removal and replacement of the
current play areas, the addition of a play structure for children ages 2-5, a play structure for
children ages 5-12, and a swing area. This project will install rubberized and wood fiber play
surfacing, four new shade structures, and a picnic pavilion.
This project exemplifies the City of Santa Clarita's (City) commitment to improving the quality
of life of its residents and supports the Building and Creating Community theme of the Santa
Clarita 2020 plan. Neighborhood Services staff conducted extensive community outreach to
Mountain View residents during the project's design. This process included meeting with local
homeowner associations, sending multiple informative mailers were sent to every home in the
community, and holding two community outreach meetings with residents at Mountain View
Park to review conceptual design and solicit project feedback.
This project has been divided into two phases. Phase I includes the procurement of upgraded
play area equipment and four shade structures, poured -in-place rubberized and wood fiber play
surfacing, and the installation of a covered pavilion. Additionally, three shade structures will be
installed on the west side of the park and one shade structure will be installed on the east side of
the park.
Phase II includes the addition of concrete walkways, grading the play pads, and the installation
of new water fountains, a handball court, trash receptacles, tables, and benches. The work
associated with Phase II requires staff to secure competitive bids for construction to be awarded
at a future City Council meeting.
On July 11, 1995, the City Council approved the use of "piggyback" purchasing. This process
allows the City to place orders against a competitively awarded public agency contract. The
City's contract with Sourcewell (contract 4030817-JHN), which was competitively solicited
through their nationwide bid process, was awarded on May 8, 2017, and is valid through 2021,
with an optional fifth year renewal, allowing the City to take advantage of an existing process.
The requested contingencies will cover any unforeseen issues or additional needs that may occur
during the design and construction process. The remaining funds in the budget will cover staff
oversight related to construction and project management, public works inspection, materials
testing, permit fees, legal fees, labor compliance, and administrative costs.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Upon approval of the recommended actions, the total Fiscal Year 2019-20 budget for this project
will be $773,473 in expenditure account P4017357-5161.001 Landscape Maintenance District
Page 2
Fund (Fund 357). This will adequately support the recommended contracts for Phase I and
related administrative and miscellaneous costs for this project.
