restrooms located in the following parks: Bouquet Canyon, Newhall, Old Orchard, Santa Clarita,
Valencia Glen, and Valencia Meadows. On January 11, 2000, Council approved plans and
specifications and authorized staff to advertise for Project No. P00010-01, Bid No. FS -99-00-18,
to install ceramic tile on the floors and walls of various park sites. On Monday, February 14, the
following bids were received by the City Clerk's office:

Solicitation specified minimum number of years experience in tile work for the company and
required references for jobs of similar size and scope. Lowest bid failed to meet these minimum
requirements. Staff found the next low bid, Blackwood Builders of Santa Claritia, CA, did meet
these qualifications. Blackwood Builders possesses a State Contractor's License and is in good
standing with the State Contractor's License Board. The bid of $116,036 was reviewed for
accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and found to be complete. References have
indicated that this contractor has performed work to their satisfaction.Staff believes it would be
prudent to also replace the floor tiles at Valencia Meadows Aquatics Building. The bid award

includes the additional work. There are savings available in the Auxiliary Parking Lot
Expansion project that could be used for this replacement.
It is the goal of the City to not only maintain but also to continuously enhance our facilities.
Therefore, we have schools neighboring the park sites participating in the design of decorative
tiles to be placed on some walls of the facilities. Maya Lampson, Special Assistant to the City
Manager, is managing the project and working with teachers on school involvement.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds totaling $91,000.00 have been allocated for this project in the FY 1999/2000 budget.
Additional funding of $37,636 from Auxiliary lot expansion F1005001 is requested to enhance
scope of project.
