BACKGROUND
In 1996, City Council directed Parks, Recreation, and Community Services staff to develop a
skatepark. During a meeting in June 1997, City Council approved the authorization to acquire
the Merle Norman property (Santa Clarita Sports Complex). Escrow on the property closed in
October 1997 and plans for. the skatepark began.
Public meetings were held on October 14, 1997 and November 25, 1997 by Recreation staff and
the architectural firm of Lawrence Moss & Associates. Preliminary designs were developed as
a result of public input. The final design is comprised of all ideas captured into one that best
utilizes the site and fits the needs of both inline skaters and skateboarders.
On December 4, 1997, the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the preliminary plans
and recommended their approval to City Council. On January 20,1998, the preliminary plans
were presented to and approved by the Planning Commission. In the last few weeks the
architectural firm completed the plans and an engineer's estimate was prepared. The estimate
showed that the park could be built for an amount close to the budget available from the grant.
A quote presented by Begl Construction Company (the contractor currently working on the
sports complex) to build the park as a change order was for more than $56,000.00 above the
budget. Staff feels that competitive bidding may bring the costs down and still complete the
park on time.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Issue a change order to Begl Construction Company, who is currently under contract with the
City for construction of the Santa Clarita Sports Complex. This change order could allow the
skatepark to open concurrently with the grand opening of the Sports Complex, which is
scheduled for August 1998. Begl Construction Company has quoted $221,357.00, which is
approximately $56,000.00 above the original engineer's estimate for this project. If this change
order is issued, including 15% for project contingencies, it would increase Begl Construction
Company's contract from $1,706,000.00 to $1,960,560.55, and funds in -the amount of
$89,345.55 would need to be appropriated from City Council Contingency Account
No. 1240-7401 to Account No. P0011001.
Other action as determined by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Project funds in the amount of $184,211.00 have been budgeted in Account No. P0011210. Of
this money, $19,000.00 has been allocated for the design architect firm of Lawrence R. Moss &
Associates. This project is currently being entirely funded by the Los Angeles County Open
Space District Bond Act (Proposition A). Additional funding will be necessary to complete the
project as designed.
If the change order option is selected, Council to approve the following budget allocations:
