BACKGROUND The City Council appropriated funding in the 2000/01 budget to design and construct the Central Park Phase II project. Staff has completed the bidding process, and a Phase II construction contract was awarded to Terra -Cal Construction, Inc., by the City Council on April 24, 2001. During the Fiscal Year 2001/2002 budget process, City Council approved an additional $1,400,000 for the expansion of Central Park Phase II. The expansion is expected to include 5-6 acres of irrigated turf with trees, parking lot, site amenities, storm drain and infrastructure to support the remaining build out of Central Park. Should the budget Agenda Item �:3 u� El allow, staff will attempt to negotiate the installation of the parking lot lighting and field lighting for two of the sports fields. Terra -Cal Construction, Inc. has expressed a willingness to merge the construction of Phase II and the expansion project utilizing their originally bid unit prices. This approach will allow the City to complete the expansion portion much sooner than if it were a stand alone project. Staff anticipates the construction of Phase II, including the expansion, to be completed in Summer 2002. The expansion will bring the Phase II project to just over 20 acres, and is consistent with the Central Park Master Plan developed by the Community. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS City Council not award design contract at this time. Other action as determined by Council. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for this expenditure are comprised of $1,400,000 in General Funds. These funds have been budgeted in Account Number P4004001-8001 in Fiscal Year 2001-2002. ATTACHMENTS Central Park Development Plan RJL:Itk Pr\munml \Vnrpt8\2001 \ CPHExpanston. dm
